Can't install erlang on Fedora41

[Rope-a-dope]

Fedora41 uses dnf5 which is short for dnf and the command as well as the packages change a little bit.

This is the documentation from current github page and I will comment below.

Install the build tools sudo yum groupinstall -y 'Development Tools' 'C Development Tools and Libraries'
This command doesn't work. See the list below.

~ ❯ sudo dnf group list
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
ID                          Name                                       Installed
c-development               C Development Tools and Libraries                yes
d-development               D Development Tools and Libraries                 no

The command below doesn't work either.

~ ❯ sudo dnf group install -y 'C Development Tools and Libraries'

I had to install it with ID. Not sure if "d-development" needs to be installed.

~ ❯ sudo dnf group install -y c-development

For building with wxWidgets (start observer or debugger!). Note that you may need to select the right wx-config before installing Erlang. sudo yum install -y wxGTK3-devel wxBase3
Neither package exist in Fedora repo, searched for quite a while and couldn't find the answer. Installing erlang will fail without these two.

Is it possible to update the description and also put all the necessary packages at the end just like what is done on Ubuntu? Thanks a lot!

It's weird. After trying many time, it was successful.
