[Support #XJX-348145]: How to install AWIPS cave on Fedora 35 ?

Hello,

Currently, Unidata's AWIPS distribution is only available specifically to 
CentOS 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (along with Windows and Mac). There has 
been no testing with Fedora. 

Our downloads page has specific requirements:

http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/

And it is recommended to use the awips_install.sh script to install CAVE to 
help ensure other dependencies are satisfied. However, I don't think this will 
work with Fedora. 




Thanks,
