In some cases, we use Linux to choose to install the desktop environment, so here's how to install desktop environment for a system that does not have a desktop environment installed. Take CentOS 6.5 As an example to demonstrate how to install the desktop environment.
First, check the operating level of the system and whether the desktop environment is installed
1. Use the command runlevel to view the current runlevel.
2. Use the command Yum grouplist | more to see if the components of the desktop environment are installed, and again from the results of the analysis above, the current runlevel is 3 and there is no software to install the desktop environment.
Then we use the command to look at the desktop desktop environment of the software, and then install the displayed software components on it. For example:
[Email protected] ~]#
[Email protected] ~]# yum grouplist | more
