Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install audiofile on CentOS 8.
What is audiofile
The Audio File library is an implementation of the Audio File Library from SGI, which provides an API for accessing audio file formats like AIFF/AIFF-C, WAVE, and NeXT/Sun .snd/.au files. This library is used by the EsounD daemon. Install audiofile if you are installing EsounD or you need an API for any of the sound file formats it can handle.
We can use yum or dnf to install audiofile on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install audiofile.
Install audiofile 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
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
