1 00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:09,980 In this video you'll learn how to get started with the Red Hat family Linux. 2 00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:15,865 We are going to download the latest version from either CentOS.org if you want to work 3 00:00:15,865 --> 00:00:21,050 with CentOS Stream, or from developers.redhat.com if you want to work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 4 00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:27,335 Next you install it. And I would recommend you install in a virtual machine 5 00:00:27,335 --> 00:00:31,760 or directly on top of hardware. But virtual machines are the most flexible solution. 6 00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:38,429 You need a minimal amount of 2gb of RAM to work with Linux. Conveniently, 7 00:00:38,429 --> 00:00:43,500 1gb might work as well, but only if no graphical user interface is installed. 8 00:00:44,939 --> 00:00:47,200 And as a minimal disk size you want to have 10gb. 9 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,820 A second disk will be needed later in class. We'll talk about it later. 10 00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:57,229 And while installing, use a server with GUI installation pattern. 11 00:00:57,789 --> 00:00:58,990 Let me show you how that works. 12 00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:04,310 Okay, we need to install first and I'm going to do that using CentOS. 13 00:01:05,329 --> 00:01:09,479 You find it on centos.org the CentOS 14 00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:13,629 distribution if you want the CentOS stream. 15 00:01:14,709 --> 00:01:19,450 So you click download and there you can find the different CentOS distributions that are available. 16 00:01:20,530 --> 00:01:22,090 As you can see, there are many options. 17 00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:24,670 Now first there's the version option. 18 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,500 Version 10 is the current version. So let's go for version 10. 19 00:01:30,219 --> 00:01:32,760 Next you need to select the platform that you want to use. 20 00:01:33,859 --> 00:01:38,480 I am using a virtual machine on macOS with Apple Silicon and that means that I need ARM64. 21 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:42,219 Then you need to decide what exactly you want. 22 00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:45,689 Most obvious choice is to use an ISO. 23 00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:50,840 Let's click on mirrors and start downloading the CentOS 10 ISO. 24 00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:56,890 Okay, so I'm going to show you how to install the 25 00:01:56,890 --> 00:02:00,469 CentOS distribution based on the image that we've just downloaded. 26 00:02:01,689 --> 00:02:05,650 First thing, we need to select virtualization software. 27 00:02:06,189 --> 00:02:11,014 Now this course is not about different solutions for virtualization. I'm using VMware Fusion. I recommend 28 00:02:11,014 --> 00:02:15,839 you use it as well. If you're on macOS, it's free and it's good software. 29 00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:21,210 If you are on Windows, you you can use VMware Workstation instead, which has the same look and feel. 30 00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:26,584 Now in VMware Fusion, I just selected File New and that 31 00:02:26,584 --> 00:02:30,259 is prompting for the installation method that I want to use. 32 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,584 Well, I want to install from Discord Image. That's the 33 00:02:34,584 --> 00:02:38,250 only obvious choice if you just downloaded an ISO file. 34 00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:43,689 Now here I can see a list of all the images that are known to my system. 35 00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:50,370 And the one that I'm going to use is this CentOS stream 10 latest arc 64 DVD ISO. 36 00:02:53,300 --> 00:03:00,229 So based on that ISO I can click Continue and then we see a Profile of different operating systems that it recognizes. 37 00:03:01,129 --> 00:03:08,080 Now, as CentOS is so close to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, there's nothing wrong with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.64bit. 38 00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:17,610 In case you are wondering where is my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10? Well, at the moment that we were 39 00:03:17,610 --> 00:03:24,020 recording this, VMware Fusion was not yet updated with RHEL 10 profile. But that really doesn't make a difference. 40 00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:28,360 This profile is fine. And that brings us to the hardware settings. 41 00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:36,370 As you can see in the hardware settings, it works with a disk with a capacity of 20gb and 2gb of memory. 42 00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:39,479 I want to increase the amount of memory a little bit. 43 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,900 So the amount of memory that I want to give is going to be 4 gigabytes. 44 00:03:46,219 --> 00:03:52,020 But let me also change the name and use a name that makes sense to me. 45 00:03:53,379 --> 00:03:56,509 Now we see the hardware configuration interface. 46 00:03:57,270 --> 00:04:02,800 In the hardware configuration interface, I need to go to my processors and memory and change the memory to 4096. 47 00:04:06,349 --> 00:04:08,629 That should do it so I can close this window. 48 00:04:09,530 --> 00:04:12,330 Here is a new virtual machine that is ready to play. 49 00:04:13,370 --> 00:04:17,670 I'm clicking the Play button and then we basically need to wait a bit. 50 00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:20,670 Next it's prompting. 51 00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:26,069 What do we need to do? Well, I want to install CentOS Stream 10. 52 00:04:26,069 --> 00:04:30,089 Let me select install CentOS Stream 10 and then the installer will start. 53 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,600 This is loading a Linux kernel. 54 00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:38,240 While it is doing so, it's giving information about what is happening. 55 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,300 But really everything that you see here is not so very important. 56 00:04:43,060 --> 00:04:48,725 All right, so now the installation program is fully loaded and I need to 57 00:04:48,725 --> 00:04:54,389 configure the settings for language and regional settings. I'm selecting English. English, United States. 58 00:04:54,910 --> 00:05:01,560 The regional settings are mainly important if you have different keyboard layouts or different time notations. 59 00:05:02,449 --> 00:05:06,009 So select whatever is appropriate and then click Continue. 60 00:05:07,129 --> 00:05:10,029 Next in CentOS you will see the installation summary. 61 00:05:10,529 --> 00:05:15,774 There's a lot of options that you can configure. There's only a few options that we need so far. We 62 00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:21,019 want to get started as fast as we can, right? So let's not talk about all these advanced options. 63 00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:25,670 Let's create a user and set the installation destination and then we're good. 64 00:05:26,970 --> 00:05:29,800 Now, in the user account you can see it prompts for a root. 65 00:05:30,339 --> 00:05:32,279 We are not going to set a password for root. 66 00:05:32,939 --> 00:05:37,149 I'm just going to create a regular user with the name Student. 67 00:05:38,269 --> 00:05:42,100 It's important that the option Add administrative privileges for this 68 00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:45,930 user account is enabled. Then we need a password. 69 00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:52,269 You can use any password, but if the password is not really secure, you can see 70 00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:56,649 that right now that this is the case you need to click the done button twice. 71 00:05:58,110 --> 00:06:01,269 Then you need to confirm how you want to install. 72 00:06:02,610 --> 00:06:08,560 We can see automatic partitioning selected and that's totally fine with me, but the installer wants you 73 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,509 to have a look at what it is going to do to prevent any accidents from happening. 74 00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:21,930 So I can see my hard disk which is the name NVMe 0N1 and 20GB free. That sounds okay 75 00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:28,430 with me and essence is okay. But clicking Done and begin the installation to start the installation procedure. 76 00:06:29,490 --> 00:06:30,870 This will take a couple of minutes. 77 00:06:34,250 --> 00:06:38,639 Okay, so now the installation is ready, let's click Reboot System 78 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:43,029 and that will reboot the system with its new settings. 79 00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:50,750 So we can see the login interface that allows me to log in as a user student that I just created. 80 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,379 This is the so called GNOME graphical desktop interface. 81 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:04,329 Let's skip the tour and let's investigate what is going on in this interface later.
