Information about the package, ntl, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The ntl package is designed for, High-performance algorithms for vectors, matrices, and polynomials.
Package Name:
ntl
Summary:
High-performance algorithms for vectors, matrices, and polynomials
Description:
NTL is a high-performance, portable C++ library providing data structures and algorithms for arbitrary length integers; for vectors, matrices, and polynomials over the integers and over finite fields; and for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic. NTL provides high quality implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms for: * arbitrary length integer arithmetic and arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic; * polynomial arithmetic over the integers and finite fields including basic arithmetic, polynomial factorization, irreducibility testing, computation of minimal polynomials, traces, norms, and more; * lattice basis reduction, including very robust and fast implementations of Schnorr-Euchner, block Korkin-Zolotarev reduction, and the new Schnorr-Horner pruning heuristic for block Korkin-Zolotarev; * basic linear algebra over the integers, finite fields, and arbitrary precision floating point numbers.

yum install ntl
This command will install ntl on the server.
yum remove ntl
This command will un-install ntl on the server. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove ntl, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y remove ntl
This command will un-install ntl on the server. When you run this command with th e -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove ntl when using the -y flag.
yum update ntl
This command will update ntl to the latest version. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove ntl, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y update ntl
This command will update ntl to the latest version. When you run this command with the -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove ntl when using the -y flag.
yum info ntl
This command will show you core information about the ntl package.
yum deplist ntl
This command will show you the dependencies for ntl. Thankfully, when using Yum, if dependencies are required, these are also installed at the same time so you don't have to worry too much about that.
yum check-update ntl
This command will check if there is an update waiting on ntl. When you run this command this will return nothing if there is nothing to update, or, will return the package name if the package is due to be updated.
