In this video, we are going to download and install Linux operating system.
Now you're probably thinking, Hey, can I use any other Linux operating system such as a Bantu, Kali
or any other Linux operating system for that matter?
Well, the answer is yes.
You could use any of these Linux distribution.
However, I would recommend that you stick with the center OS.
And the primary reason behind this is because 80% of the corporate world today uses a RL, which is
Red Hat, Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux is exactly the same as Santos.
And CentOS is, of course is open source.
It's free to download.
Now if you are going with other Linux distribution, that is fine.
But but please note about 90% of the command that I'm covering in CentOS can be applicable on other
Linux distributions as well.
All right.
Now comes to the Santos version.
What version are you going to use?
There is different versions, seven, eight and nine.
Well, in this course I am primarily focusing on Santos seven, but I am also including all the materials
that are introduced in Santos eight and Santos nine extreme.
So you could go the answer is you could go with any of these operating system versions, seven or eight
or nine.
The instructions are included some of the features by Red Hat that were introduced in Santos eight and
nine, such as containers and stuff.
So if you are going to use seven, then later in this course you would have to install Santos eight
or nine in order to use those containers or some of the newer features.
But that's fine for now.
You could install Santos eight later on, you could learn Santos nine or whichever the way that you
wanted to go with.
All right.
So going back to our diagram, we have our laptop or or our desktop or running Windows or Mac, and
then we install virtualization software, VMware Player or Oracle VirtualBox.
Then we created a virtual machine.
Now in this video, this is the time to install Linux operating system and the Linux distribution or
flavor that we are using is Santos.
And in this video we are going with version seven.
If you wanted to go with version eight, skip this video right now and go to the next one.
If you want to go with the Santos nine stream, skip this one and the one after that and go straight
to Santos nine stream.
All right.
So the very first thing we you do regarding the Santos ISO is to download it.
And for that you have to go to Santos website.
So pick a browser of your choice.
I'm picking my browser, which is a Firefox, or you could pick any one of your choice.
Go to Google and type download Santos seven.
All right, click on the first one there where it says Santos dot org download click here and it will
bring you to Santos dos Santos Linux seven already selected select x 86 under underscore 64.
Now I will give you all the different mirrors from where you could download ISO image.
Pick the first one and 99% of the time you will get the ISO from the first link.
Click on it and it will bring you to the next page where you have to go to.
The ones that says the highest size right now is 9.5 and it says everything ISO click on it.
And it will start to download it now.
I have already downloaded this file to save time.
You could you could pause the video right now and complete the download and come back.
So anyway, assuming that you have downloaded the file and now it's time to attach that file to our
Oracle VirtualBox.
All right.
So for that, let's go to Oracle VirtualBox and let's go to the virtual machine that we created.
All right, my Linux VM and click on Start.
All right.
As soon as it starts, it's going to ask you, where is the ISO image that you wanted to have attached
and install the operating system right here?
It says by default host drive D, which means you will have to insert the DVD into the DVD rom, which
is not the case.
We have downloaded the ISO image, so click on this folder and specify where is your ISO image.
So click on Add.
This is something that I've added earlier, so don't worry about it.
Just click on Add and go to your desktop where you have downloaded the Center seven ISO image.
Here it is, click open and choose and now go ahead and click on Start.
So now this is going to start your virtual machine and it will start up the welcome screen of Santos
seven.
So you have to click inside of this window here.
So you have to click inside of the window in order to move or select the choice that is given to you.
So install CentOS seven or test this media and install CentOS seven.
So pick the first one.
Right now as you can see, it is highlighted.
You would have to use up and down arrow key because the mouse is not going to work.
So select the first one and hit enter.
Now if you are going with the VMware Workstation player, then go open up the VMware Workstation player.
Right here we have our virtual machine, so right click on it, go to settings and go to where it says
CD, DVD and click here.
It says Use ISO Image File and click browse and pick the file or ISO image which you have downloaded
for Center seven.
Select that one, click open and click, okay?
And then you can simply click here, which will power on or play virtual machine.
Either one will perform the same function.
So let's say if you click on it and you will see as soon as it detected the ISO image, then you will
see the welcome center seven screen.
Go ahead and click inside of the window and then move your cursor up to do the install center seven.
By the way, while you have your mouse captured inside of this window, you could hit alt and control.
Or a right control key on your keyboard to get rid of your or the captured mouse.
See, you got your mouse back.
That's how you could do it.
Or release your mouse.
If you click inside again, then it will capture it again.
That's how the behavior of Oracle virtual box.
So not to worry.
All right.
It's telling you the same thing.
The virtual machine reports that guess who supports mouse pointer integration stuff.
Stuff, stuff.
Blah, blah, blah.
That's fine.
Click cancel this right here.
Cancel this notification as well.
Let's wait for the installation wizard to come and we will go through step by step how the installation
wizard is going to work.
All right.
So here you will have a goofy or graphical user interface type of installation wizard.
Welcome to Santa seven.
Select the language I am selecting United States.
That's where I am.
If you are anywhere else, pick the according to your region.
Click continue.
All right.
Date and time.
America's a New York.
I am in New York.
So it is selecting in New York by default keyboard getting a list of keyboards.
It's selected English, United States language support, United States installation media, local media.
Because we have attached the ISO image software selection, minimal install, click on that and pick
server with gooey because you do want the desktop type of environment or gooey, not just a command
line click done.
All right.
It's checking the software selection, meaning it's checking whether it has the required packages or
software to install server with gooey selection that I did.
All right.
So while it's going through that, it's checking it.
Let's come down to the installation destination.
It says automatic partitioning selected.
So simply select it and it says ten gig.
Just click on it and click again.
So it will checkmark and click done.
All right, it's checking, making sure it has everything.
All right.
So local media has done so.
Who is done?
Installation destination is done.
Cable dump is enabled by default.
Leave it as ill as is.
What it means is if kernel goes something goes wrong with the kernel, it will create the logs and do
you want those logs?
So that's why we have enabled it.
All right, network and hostname, click on that.
It says not connected.
First of all, specify the host name that you wanted to pick for your virtual machine.
We'll pick my Linux VM or you can pick any host name of your choice.
Click Apply and you will see right now it says local host.
It will change to my Linux VM click apply.
There you go.
Apply is done now click on Configure.
And go to.
General and click on automatically connect to this network when it is available.
Checkmark Save.
Now connecting and it is automatically on and simply click done.
All right.
Network and hostname is done.
A security policy.
No content found.
That is fine.
Leave it as is as a default and click on Begin installation.
All right.
So next step is to define or create a rude password.
Click on rude password.
This is like an administrator password for you.
Just like when Windows Window has an administrator password.
In Linux, the administrator is called rude password.
So please make sure you pick a password that you could remember.
All right.
Another thing, if you are picking a weak password at the bottom is going to tell you the password you
have provided is weak.
The password fails.
The dictionary check.
It is based on a dictionary word you will have to press done twice to confirm it.
So it says it is weak, but I will allow you.
That's fine.
But simply click done twice.
One and two.
All right, user creation.
Now, this was administrator.
Now you could create a regular user on Linux.
Let's click on it and full name.
I'm going to create my username.
In your case, you could create your first name and last name.
So full name is Imran Epsilon.
And you see automatically it defines a username for me, which is I absolve first name, initial and
last name.
Make this user administrator, that's fine.
Require a password to use this account.
So define a password for your account.
Now.
Now this could be you could pick the same password as you picked for route.
Or if you're picking a different password, then please remember your passwords.
All right.
Same way if you picked week click done twice.
All right.
So now it's going through the package installation and the entire operating system installation.
Right now, as you could see, it needs 348 packages to be installed and we are at 149.
This could take anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes depending on your system speed.
So I am going to fast forward from this point and once the installation is fully completed, then we'll
come back.
All right.
CentOS is now successfully installed and ready for you to use.
Go ahead and reboot to start using it.
Click Reboot.
All right, so now you have to accept the license.
So click on license information and click on Accept the license agreement and click done.
All right.
So that is completed.
Click on finish configuration.
Okay.
So you have a login screen.
Go ahead and click on either your name or if you want to log in as route you can click on not listed
and then enter your root right here, username root and then click next and it will ask you for a root
password.
So now let's click cancel and let's log in as your regular yourself and enter password.
Okay.
So right here is your desktop and you need to use a terminal.
So if are if you're logging in for the first time, you'll get this welcome screen.
Simply click next.
Next location services.
You could turn it off next.
And skip this one and start using Santos Linux.
All right.
So now you're going to get the desktop back again.
Right click on the desktop.
Oops.
Got the genome started.
That's fine.
You could close this.
Right click and click on Open Terminal.
This is your terminal that you're going to be using to run all the commands.
Now, this completes your installation of your Linux system.
Congratulations.
