Centos Setup Command

  • 772

What is the centos setup command used in the initial installation? I have a vmware image and i used 'linux text' to install it; now i would like to go back and use the gui version to add some packages. Is this possible?

    If you've installed a desktop environment on your system, you can use the graphical Package Management tool:

    Depending on which window manager you are using, you can either to to

    Applications --> Add/Remove Software

    Or from a shell type "system-config-packages".

    If you get "command not found", then you would first have to run

    yum install system-config-packages
