Can anyone provide a detailed procedure for installing MRPT on Fedora 33 Scientific (one of the Fedora Labs which has a KDE interface)? The MRPT installation instructions for Ubuntu mentions something about cmake/cmake-gui. Checking the man pages, F33Sci has no such thing. It must be possible to accomplish this somehow, because Fedora Robotics Lab includes MRPT. I've already tried "$sudo dnf install mrpt", resulting in "Error: Unable to find a match: mrpt". However, "$dnf search mrpt" results in a bunch of items from mrpt-base... to mrpt-stereo-camera-calibration.

The version of MRPT that ships with Fedora is really outdated, so you do well in building from sources.
cmake-gui is not 100% required, it is only mentioned in the instructions to make things easier to those preferring GUIs, but you should be able to compile using the console commands here (that is, the standard workflow with cmake).
Next, the CMake configuration process will warn you about missing libraries. Most are optional, but at least make sure of installing eigen3, opencv and wxwidgets. Those should be installed with the standard commands used in Fedora...
