How To Install geocode-glib on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install geocode-glib on CentOS 8.
What is geocode-glib
geocode-glib is a convenience library for the geocoding (finding longitude, and latitude from an address) and reverse geocoding (finding an address from coordinates). It uses Nominatim service to achieve that.
