The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Audacity audio editor on a Fedora 36.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 36.

• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
