CentOS 7 is a very powerful,
open source server platform. With this particular operating system,
you can deploy very powerful web sites, containers, and so much more.
But for some, the installation could "accidentally" wind up
with a GUI-less platform (you must remember to select the GUI during
installation). If you're well versed in the Linux command line,
that's not a problem. But for those new or newish to Linux, a good
GUI would go a very long way to assist the administration process.
Fortunately, for
those that wound up with a GUI-less CentOS server, adding a graphical
desktop environment into the mix is actually not that hard. I'm going
to show you how to install the GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and Mate desktop
environments and enable the graphical login. It's actually much
easier than you might expect.
Assumptions
For this to work, I will assume you already have CentOS 7 installed (without a desktop environment), you have access to either the root account or a user with sudo rights, and that your machine has an internet connection. Do note, although the installation of the GNOME environment will not require a reboot, to gain access to the graphical login will. Don't worry, however, you can still get to your GNOME desktop without having to reboot.First, Download centOS 7 HERE
