156

157
+
158
+ # for Debian/Ubuntu:
159
+ dpkg --list | grep compiler

+ # for Red Hat/RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
161

+ `GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) <https://gcc.gnu.org/ >`_, is a widely used
164
+ compiler, which supports C and a number of other languages. If GCC is listed
165
+ as an installed compiler nothing more is required. If no C compiler is
166
+ installed (or you wish to install a newer version) you can install a compiler
167
+ (GCC in the example code below) with::
168
+
169
+ # for recent Debian/Ubuntu:
170
+ sudo apt install build-essential
171
+ # for Red Had/RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
172
+ yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
