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.
First Add the EPEL Repository (EPEL Repository which is provided from Fedora project.)
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)
- How to add EPEL Repository?
# yum -y install epel-release # sed -i -e "s/\]$/\]\npriority=5/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo # set [priority=5] # sed -i -e "s/enabled=1/enabled=0/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo # for another way, # yum --enablerepo=epel install [Package] # if [enabled=0], input a command to use the repository
- And now install the Cinnamon Desktop Environment from EPEL Repository:
# yum --enablerepo=epel -y install cinnamon*
- Input a command like below after finishing installation:
# echo "exec /usr/bin/cinnamon-session" >> ~/.xinitrc
# startx
- Cinnamon Desktop Environment will start. For first booting, initial setup runs and you have to configure it for first time.
- Select System language first.
- Select your keyboard type.
- Add online accounts if you'd like to.
- Finally click "Start using CentOS Linux".
- Cinnamon Desktop Environment starts like follows.
