In this blog post I will show you how to install CentOS 7, Release 1810 in Hyper-V on Windows 10.These days I have started using Hyper V which is a part of Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise editions. This is because it is readily available as a part of Windows 10 OS and integrates well with overall Windows ecosystem. Please note that Hyper-V is not a part of Windows 10 Home Edition.
Windows 10 home users will have to stick to VMware Workstation pro, VMware Workstation Player or VirtualBox.Before you can use Hyper-V, it needs to be enabled in Windows 10. To know how to enable it, please follow my postLets get started. CentOS Installation media download options:On the official website home page, to get the installation media, you have to click. You have 2 options listed, DVD ISO and Minimal ISO. There is a third option which is currently not listed on the download page, which is Everything ISO. You can download Everything ISO from the.
DVD ISO– Download size around 4.5 GB. This is the desktop version with GUI and contains the standard linux packages which comes pre configured with any desktop version of the linux OS such as C, pyhon, ruby, php etc. Install this if you wish to work on CentOS for software development in desktop mode or for learning purposes. For additional packages not available by default, you will have to install them yourself using the package manager. Everything ISO– Download size around 10 GB. This contains all of CentOS including what is available in DVD ISO. This also has a GUI.
If you have bandwidth to download 10 GB, I would recommend using this ISO if you dont have have internet bandwidth issue, else DVD ISO should be good too. Will use this version for this blog. Minimal ISO– Download size around 1 GB.
This contains the core CentOS with out GUI. That is, you will have to work on command line interface. If you wish to run a server, this is recommended as you can selectively install any package you want such as php, apache etc. This helps to keep the OS small and robust.
The interface is the same as in any CentOS VPS servers available in the market. If you wish to learn how to work on cloud servers running CentOS, this is what you should use. Normally you access your cloud server using SSH client such as putty. Once you have the access, it is same as working on CentOS in CLI (Command Line Interface) mode. When I was downloading the ISO file directly, I faced broken download problem. That is, download stopped in the middle multiple times.
I would recommend you to use torrent to download the installation media. You will see the torrent option on the download page.
