In this tutorial, We will install its desktop version. You can start with any url below

Http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos-6/6.5/isos/ http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.5/isos/

Select your machine system, which will list an image table. Go to any image, download the seed file, or download the iso link directly. There are many download methods to choose from, such as LiveCD, LiveDVD, Dvd1 + 2 dual-disc set, Minimal installation and Netinstall.

Minimal installation is a text-interface-based installation program. In this way, only shell and Minimal software applications are installed in CentOS. All the remaining things have to be installed by yourself through yum.

LiveCD/LiveDVD provides desktop and GUI installation programs, which can install CentOS without any software packages.

DvD1 + 2 dual-disc set provides a complete set of applications for those who need it

In fact, netinstall will first download the installation image and then install

In this article, we will use LiveCD. It is about 650 MB. Although CentOS is mainly used on servers, it has a desktop system that helps your server create a basic GUI installation environment during installation. In other articles, we will try the minimal and netinstall installation methods.

Install

So now it's time to install CentOS on your desktop. Run LiveDVD or LiveCD!

1. Put it into the media and restart it. The Start menu has multiple options with instructions. Select Boot to enter the Live desktop.

2. Double-click the following installation icon on the desktop to enable the anaconda installer.

3. Go to the installation wizard and click Next)

4.Keyboard layout-In this step, you will be asked to select your keyboard layout. U. S. English is recommended)

5.Storage TypeAfter selecting the keyboard layout, select the storage type used to install CentOS. For local hard disk boot, select Basic storage.

6.Host NameNext, the anaconda installer will ask the host name. Therefore, enter appropriate words. If you are not sure about the host name, enter one at Will (the host name can be changed at any time ).

7.Time zone SelectionNext, select the time zone option.

8.Root PasswordEnter the root password, preferably a password that you are familiar with but strong enough.

9.Planning partitionsNow the wizard wants to know how you plan the storage device. If you need to plan the partition by yourself, select "Custom Layout" and partition as needed. For the purpose of this tutorial, we chose the first option, that is, to use the entire device and let CentOS use its preferred automatic partitioning plan.

10.Copy a fileNow the installation has started to copy the file. There is nothing to do now except waiting and staring. The LiveCD installer is basically copied from the CD image to the hard disk. You do not have any installation package options to choose to install or omit. In addition, liveCD only comes with a small number of software and applications.

Configuration after installation

11. The system will be automatically restarted after the installation is complete. You are welcome to see the Wizard to further configure the system.

12. The license agreement will have a very small license with only a few lines, just like all CentOS software. So agree!

13.Create userCreate a common user who uses the system for himself.

14.Current date and timeEnter the current date and time and select the automatic synchronization time using the network.

15.KdumpThis is the last step of the welcome wizard. Ask whether Kdump should be enabled or disabled. We recommend that you enable it.

Start using CentOS 6.5

After completing the preceding steps, the system restarts and finally directs you to the logon page.

After logging in, we will see the glittering CentOS 6.5 desktop!
