not sure about a gui, but the command to install software is 'yum'
or more precisely
su -c 'yum install {package}'
enter root password
hit y when prompted, or to skip the answer y part the command is
su -c 'yum -y install {package}'
enter root password

note you should also run
su -c 'yum update' periodically as this keeps your system up to date with the latest versions of installed packages.

Hi and welcome to LQ!
Fedora uses yum as package manager. Here a guide.
For c/c++ compiler it could be already installed. You can verify it with: which gcc
If no, you can installed it with: yum -y install gcc gcc-c++
