Problem Installing Quarto in Fedora
Hello everyone!
This post is aimed at those looking for a solution (or workaround) to install the latest Quarto release on Fedora.
Installation Instructions for Quarto CLI
As there are no available RPM packages for Quarto, the recommended method is to install the Quarto CLI using the latest tarball release from the official website. However, I encountered an error message: tcc: error: mprotect failed: did you mean to configure --with-selinux?. This aligns with discussions found here. Many users suggested using alien to convert a .deb package, and I even explored this link for potential solutions but found no success.
What Worked for Me
A bit of context: I use Quarto in VSCode, editing .ipynb or .qmd files for my documents. If you use RStudio, this solution might also work for you.
The solution I discovered, through trial and error, is quite simple: install the Quarto CLI using pip. It worked flawlessly for me.
To verify, run quarto check in the terminal.
Extra: If you need to install Chromium or TinyTeX, just run quarto tools install chromium and quarto install tinytex.
That’s it!
