How To Install perl-Digest-SHA1 on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Digest-SHA1 on CentOS 8.
What is perl-Digest-SHA1
The Digest digest algorithm from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 160-bit “fingerprint” or “message digest” of the input. The Digest as well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages of arbitrary length and which can read files directly. A binary digest will be 20 bytes long. A hex digest will be 40 characters long. A base64 digest will be 27 characters long.
We can use yum or dnf to install perl-Digest-SHA1 on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install perl-Digest-SHA1.
Install perl-Digest-SHA1 on CentOS 8 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache
After updating yum database, We can install perl-Digest-SHA1 using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install perl-Digest-SHA1
Install perl-Digest-SHA1 on CentOS 8 Using dnf
If you don’t have dnf installed you can install DNF on CentOS 7 first.
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache
After updating yum database, We can install perl-Digest-SHA1 using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install perl-Digest-SHA1
How To Uninstall perl-Digest-SHA1 on CentOS 8
To uninstall only the perl-Digest-SHA1 package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove perl-Digest-SHA1
