I'm on a CentOS 7 machine. I'd like to try the use of nftables. Many sites reference iptables-translate as a helpful tool for translating from iptables to nftables rules. I've installed the nftables.x86_64 package and have the nft command, but I don't have iptables-translate:

$ iptables-translate --help
-bash: iptables-translate: command not found

A yum search for iptables-translate and xtables-translate turns up nothing. How do I install this tool?

iptables-translate is packaged with newer iptables version. CentOS 8 comes with iptables-1.8.x which has iptables-translate.
