Install Centos Iso
Installing CentOS 6 on VirtualBox on Windows Step 1 – Downloading CentOS 6 ISO. To install it, we must first download the CentOS 6. Step 2 – Creating a New Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. We assume that you have VirtualBox installed. Step 3 – Specifying the Installation Media. Step 4 – Configuring. There is not a direct relationship between the CentOS and Red Hat Linux; CentOS is the repackaged version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux; unlike the Red Hat Linux, it is free. The CentOS is a free clone of the Red Hat Linux without the active and direct support from the CentOS team.

- CentOS 7.3
On this page
This document describes the installation of a CentOS 7.3 server. The purpose of this guide is to provide a minimal setup that can be used as basis for our other tutorials here at howtoforge like the perfect server guides or the SAMBA, LAMP and LEMP server tutorials.
Requirements
To get started with the CentOS 7.3 installation, we will need the installer ISO file. This can either be the CentOS minimal ISO or the DVD ISO file. If you plan to install just this one server then choose the minimal ISO as it is a smaller, the installer will download the required packages during installation later. I will install several servers with CentOS 7.3, therefore I choose the DVD installer ISO so I dont have to download the same packages again for each server.
- Download the CentOS 7.3 DVD from a mirror next to you http://www.centos.org/download/. I will use this mirror:
http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/centos.org/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1611.iso
I will do the installation on a VMware virtual machine. The installation steps on a physical server are the same. If your server is not able to boot from an ISO file, burn the ISO on a DVD and insert that into the DVD drive of the server.
Preliminary Note
This tutorial is based on CentOS 7.3 server, I use 192.168.1.100 as my IP address in this tutorial and server1.example.com as the hostname. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
