To Install Ghostscript on Fedora 34

Introduction:

Ghostscript is a raster image processor (RIP) for raster computer printers—for instance, as an input filter of the Line Printer Daemon—or as the RIP engine behind PostScript and PDF viewers. Ghostscript can also convert from one format to another, such as from PostScript to PDF.
