This operating system is downstream in the flow from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and shares many of same features and specs as its upstream OS. It is a Linux distribution that tries to provide a completely free, enterprise-class, operating system that is open source and supported by the community. A Little About CentOSĬentOS stands for Community Enterprise Operating System. My hope is that this guide will help you take those first steps toward learning a version of CentOS that may not be quite as user friendly as some of the others out there, but it is definitely one of the most powerful. Today I am going to walk you through how to install CentOS in VirtualBox so you can create your own virtual machine of this great operating system as opposed to having to run it on a standalone Linux laptop. That’s why today things are going to change. Don’t forget to install the non-free Extension Pack via the “File → Preferences → Extensions” menu.It occurred to me the other day that despite the fact that I talk up CentOS as a great Linux distribution multiple times on this blog, I’ve never really ever bothered to show people how to install it. VirtualBox should now be available in the menu or running VirtualBox.
If you don’t, some functions may be unavailable, as using USB devices on the guest system. It is possible to use VirtualBox without adding yourself (as a user) to the vboxusers group. Sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers your_user_name Once DKMS an its dependencies are installed, we can download and add the repo file to /etc//:Īdd yourself to the vboxusers group using the “Users and Groups” application or the command line: Use the following command line to install DKMS and its dependancies: This howto also supposes that you have added yourself to the sudoers list (of course, you may as well use su or log in as root).ĭKMS has some important dependencies like gcc and kernel-devel. Install DKMS, use sudoīefore installing VirtualBox, one should install DKMS, as VirtualBox will build its own kernel module. However, a yum-style repository is also provided – we’ll use the latter. It is possible to install VirtualBox from rpm packages, which can be downloaded on the VirtualBox Linux downloads page. Provided instructions should also work on CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux or Oracle Linux. This how-to is about installing VirtualBox on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
