Install Installing Cinnamon Desktop Environment On Centos 7

I have recently installed CentOS 7(Minimal Install without GUI) and now I want to install a GUI environment in it.You know what? It turns out Cinnamon is pretty damned great.It's not earth-shattering. There weren't any features that blew me away. The user experience of Cinnamon is extremely familiar – panel on the bottom that contains, from left to right: a launcher, some common app shortcuts, and a window list followed by volume control, time, status and the like. In other words, this is the exact same layout as 99% of all desktop environments on the planet.
