Fedora is a continously-evolving distro and has a very short release cycle.
Fedora usually releases a new version every ~6 months, and maintains each version for ~13 months.

Currently, the supported Fedora versions are:

  • Fedora 30
  • Fedora 31
  • Fedora 32
  • Fedora Rawhide (testing/unstable)

Fedora >=31 are providing GMT 6.0.0, and are actively maintained, and
Fedora 30 will EOL at the end of this month.

Here we recommend Fedora users to use the GMT packages from the Fedora official repository.

Strange, I know I responded to this some time ago. My question was, does fedora build GMT with GDAL? It is a compile dependency, so I dont understand why you can use dnf to install gdal later since GMT is already built, no?

Yes, GMT is built with GDAL. Actually, both GDAL and GraphicsMagick are automatically installed by dnf install gmt, but ghostscript isn't.

I've updated the install instruction.
