How does one mount an external Hard Drive in Linux 6.5

If someone can tell me how to mount an external hard drive in Linux 6.5. I have edited the /etc/fstab file with /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat default 0 0 except my external hard drive file type is ntfs. How do I go about getting this type of filesystem recognized without having to install: yum install -y fuse*, can someone please help me out here, there has to be a way around this in order for an external hard drive to be seen by the system.
