Another solution is to download the rpm and install as instructed

http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html

http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmaker_fedora23-4.5-xm1.i386.rpm

http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmaker_fedora23-4.5-xm1.x86_64.rpm

And it says in the texmaker page that:

\begin{quote}
- These packages don't depend of the texlive packages of the corresponding distributions. 
\end{quote}

Best Regards,

Antonio
