Installing MATE on CentOS 7
- First install the EPEL-repositories then install the X Window System
yum -y install epel-release yum -y groupinstall "X Window system"
- Install the MATE packages. This will take a few minutes
yum -y groupinstall "MATE Desktop"
- Tell your system to start the Graphical Interface on boot
systemctl set-default graphical.target
- You will most likely want the Gnome Disk Utility as it the easiest way to interface with your disks. This is as simple as a single command. Once installed it can be found in: Applications -> Accessories -> Disks
yum -y install gnome-disk-utility
