Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install check on CentOS 8.
What is check
Check is a unit test framework for C. It features a simple interface for defining unit tests, putting little in the way of the developer. Tests are run in a separate address space, so Check can catch both assertion failures and code errors that cause segmentation faults or other signals. The output from unit tests can be used within source code editors and IDEs. check 0.12.0 2.el8 x86_64 89 k check-0.12.0-2.el8.src.rpm appstream A unit test framework for C http LGPLv2+ Check is a unit test framework for C.

We can use yum or dnf to install check on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install check.
Install check on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00

After updating yum database, We can install check using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install check
