Solution 1 - C++

The package you're looking for is confusingly named gcc-c++.

Solution 2 - C++

instead of g++ you have to write gcc-c++

sudo dnf install gcc-c++

Solution 3 - C++

You should exec:

dnf install gcc-c++

Solution 4 - C++

Run the command bellow in a terminal emulator:

sudo dnf install gcc-c++

Enter password and that's it...

Solution 5 - C++

I had the same problem. At least I could solve it with this:

sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++

Hope it solves your problem too.

Solution 6 - C++

try sudo dnf update and then sudo dnf install gcc-c++

Solution 7 - C++

Since Fedora 22 yum has been deprecated so the commands given in other answers will actually fire up 'Dandified yum' i.e. dnf. So the new command to install g++ in recent distributions is

su -c "dnf install gcc-c++"

As of Nov 2015 this installs the 5.1.1 version.
Also note that in Fedora 23 when I gave the command g++ -v, Fedora automatically asked me if I want to install gcc-c++ package. I think thats nice.(After the install it also ran the command g++ -v for me)
Only nit pick that I can do about it is that instead of a progress indicator you just get * Downloading packages... message which you may not like if you are on a slow internet connection.

Solution 8 - C++

In the newer distribution you can just type command as blow

su root
dnf update
dnf install gcc-c++

Solution 9 - C++

Just make a sample 'Hello World' Program and try to compile it using "g++ sam.cpp" in terminal, and it will ask you if you wish to download the g++ package. Press y to install.

Solution 10 - C++

this worked for me on Fedora 36:

sudo dnf groupinstall c-development

It will install the cc (gcc) and c++ (g++):
