How To Install python3-ecdsa on Rocky Linux 8

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-ecdsa on Rocky Linux 8. python3-ecdsa is ECDSA cryptographic signature library

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-ecdsa on Rocky Linux 8.

What is python3-ecdsa

This is an easy-to-use implementation of ECDSA cryptography (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm), implemented purely in Python, released under the MIT license. With this library, you can quickly create keypairs (signing key and verifying key), sign messages, and verify the signatures. The keys and signatures are very short, making them easy to handle and incorporate into other protocols.

We can use yum or dnf to install python3-ecdsa on Rocky Linux 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install python3-ecdsa.

Install python3-ecdsa on Rocky Linux 8 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install python3-ecdsa using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install python3-ecdsa

Install python3-ecdsa on Rocky Linux 8 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install python3-ecdsa using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install python3-ecdsa

How To Uninstall python3-ecdsa on Rocky Linux 8

To uninstall only the python3-ecdsa package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove python3-ecdsa
