#### Fortran Standard Library

The Fortran Standard, as published by the ISO (<https://wg5-fortran.org/>), does not have a
Standard Library. The goal of this project is to provide a community driven and agreed upon
de facto "standard" library for Fortran, called a Fortran Standard Library (stdlib). We have a
rigorous process how stdlib is developed as documented in our Workflow. stdlib is both a
specification and a reference implementation. We are cooperating with the Fortran Standards
Committee (e.g., the effort started at the J3 committee repository) and the plan is to continue
working with the Committee in the future (such as in the step 5. in the Workflow document),
so that if the Committee wants to standardize some feature already available in stdlib,
it would base it on stdlib's implementation.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install stdlib

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/stdlib/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install stdlib

To install stdlib, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install stdlib
```
