Help in converting a Ubuntu install to Fedora

[Robert Moskowitz]

Greetings again,

I am continuing on my UAS work with one step wanting to simulate a set 
of flights with the MAVlink data sent to my esp32 RemoteID modules for 
transmission.

I have a couple esp32 set up, but how to get the data into them using 
Fedora and not Windows and not even Ubuntu.  After a lot of digging, it 
seems that with the ArduPilot SoftwareInTheLoop (SITL) I should be able 
to do this.

I wsa told to try:

1. https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/sitl-simulator-software-in-the-loop.html
    https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/sitl-simulator-software-in-the-loop.html
 2. https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/copter-sitl-mavproxy-tutorial.html
    https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/copter-sitl-mavproxy-tutorial.html
 3. https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/setting-up-sitl-on-linux.html#setting-up-sitl...
    https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/setting-up-sitl-on-linux.html#setting-up-sitl-on-linux

and it is #3 where converting Ubuntu instructions to Fedora that I am 
stuck. I can work with GIT, that part is easy.  But when I get past 
that, I stall.

Can anyone take a look at this and advise?

Of course another option is running MONO and then just MissionPlanner, 
but lots of warnings that that crashes.

thanks

The only Ubuntu specific command I saw was installing Flight Gear which
would translate to:

$ sudo dnf install FlightGear

Thanks,

So

Tools/environment_install/install-prereqs-ubuntu.sh -y

or the alternative method

are not needed?

If so, I will give this a try when I get back Tuesday...

I didn't dig past the first level link. It looks like that script does
quite a lot. Unfortunately that's a bit too much to decipher for me right
now. A significant portion does seem to just install different versions of
packages depending on what version of Ubuntu you're running.

Thanks,
Richard
