I. Prepare the required software for installation:

The download and installation of 1.VMware virtual machine has been mentioned in my blog, so I won't elaborate here.

2. Download a red hat. Because redhat has been commercialized, I recommend you to use centos. If there is a suitable linux installation version, you don't need this.

2. Create a new virtual machine for RedHat Linux in VMware virtual machine:

1. Open the virtual machine and select a new virtual machine:

2. Select Custom (selecting a typical error here may lead to hardware missing, so it is recommended to select Custom), and then click Next:

3 Choose linux as the system, and you don't need to modify the version:

4. Name, and select the storage location of the virtual operating system (the hard disk space where the location is located is preferably greater than 5G):

5. Allocate memory to the virtual machine (this depends, my computer memory is 5 12, and 256 is allocated to the virtual machine).

6. Select the virtual machine network type (bridging network is recommended)

7. Select the disk type, and choose IDE here (this is also the reason for choosing custom in the third step, because the system will automatically select SCSI hard disk if you choose a typical one, and some linux, mainly the earlier version of linux, can't use SCSI hard disk, so there will be an error that the hard disk can't be found).

8. Specify the disk capacity (the recommended size is 8g, which is basically enough).

Second, installing linux system is very simple, and there are many tutorials on the Internet. There is basically no difference between virtual machines and real servers.

Third, the installation program under linux

1.yum installation, directly click the yum installation followed by the software name, and the linux system will automatically find the software you want to install and the dependent software you need on the yum source code.

2.rpm installation also means typing rpm install directly, followed by the software name. The system will look for software on the rpm source, but it may prompt that other software needs to be installed before installation. Yum will help you install it directly, but rpm will not. You need to install it yourself.

3. The source package installation is relative to yum and rpm installation. The installation of the source package is troublesome, but it is equivalent to a customized version of the software. You can set the installation directory, installation parameters, etc. Which is more free.
