AlmaLinux OS: Full Installation Walkthrough

[@RodolfoRobertoRodriguezOchoa]

Nice video Jay, I think Alma will be my server of choice when needed. Brings memories of when I used to work with centos servers to keep mail server and other critical services at the company I worked for

[@tonystorcke]

This is a truly excellent tutorial. I remember when it used to be so difficult to install a GUI from just a command prompt. I am so glad those days are over.

[@DCODev]

Great walk through video, thank you! That shirt is EVERYTHING!

[@wmakiling805]

You successfully helped me solve an issue I was having during the installation of an AlmaLinux VM in virtualbox. New subscriber.

[@adenijisamuel7892]

I love your tutorials. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!

[@mbee32k]

Thanks for a very nice and informative video! However, I must agree with many other commenters that the background music is irritating! Particularly the way the volume bumps up at any quiet moment! Even when you take a breath! Music is ok, but perhaps only when something is happening that doesn’t require you talking. Like some automated sequence or so. Still a thumbs up for the content!

[@MiningForPies]

I love that you use real hardware, too many people install on VM and make it seem seem less. (Looking at you arch fans)

[@trapspringer9891]

🤣 I am an Arch fan... You are not wrong.

[@BrucesWorldofStuff]

Could you please adjust your background music - It is a bit distracting with the volume to high. It just needs to be more low background music. :-) Sorry I don't mean to complain.,, As for the video it awesome you use real hardware. While I do use VM's it is nice to see a real hardware install once in awhile... :-) Thanks Jay for all you do and the awesome video's! LLAP 🖖

[@majstorgile]

10:05 If you need security profile, I would suggest doing it during installation since you are provided with requirements in advance like setting up LVM for various paths like /var/log/audit

[@spx2327]

I don't get why AlmaLinux did not include a install GUI desktop option check box during installation.

[@NormanF62]

The new live CDs for GNOME, mini GNOME, KDE and XFCE offer the same experience as the main installer but what they will do is install the desktop environment you want. Alma Linux has made life easier for those looking for a LTS Fedora experience with the stability of an enterprise distro with ten years support. Fedora may be too much of a rolling and bleeding edge distro for some people, so this is an excellent alternative for them.

[@johnmuskopf7106]

a video with instructions that actually WORK! up and running with the install. now need to learn setting up and configuring. Happy old fart here.

[@srdowns8816]

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[@andrewmunro8830]

Great videos, but I agree with others that the background music isn't necessary and makes it difficult for me to follow the speech sometimes.

Need Guidance I am having a weird issue during selection of installation destination i.e. my hard drive isn't visible as partition, moreover it displays my USB drive from which I am installing as a partition.

[@twincitiespcmd]

For a CentOS user, which to migrate to: Rocky or Alma? They both seem to be keeping the original spirit of CentOS alive.

[@veggiebroth5542]

I could never get a clear answer to this so I just gave up and installed Fedora hahaha

[@sleipnir7446]

Almalinux follows RHEL more closely, version 9 beta is already there for example and version 8 was released months before Rockylinux 8. Apart from this there's not much difference between the 2 since they follow the same distro so pick the one you want. What you'll learn will be valid with the other distro anyway.

[@julioperez3936]

Hi installed alma linux 9.2. When i tried to install the tiger vnc server and configure it for remote desktop connections to this server it failed. I ran the command To activate it sudo systemctl start vncserver@:1 the service actived and immediately disactivate it. Any suggestion

[@vilecoyote5673]

You didn't use a background music in past videos - and the subject content was all that is needed. Scrap the cover music - it doesn't improve things. Thx.

[@TheWaqaspuri]

is there tutorial like this to make the home server to install apache mysql and redis. vhost pop and smpt. to get things going.

[@shkupjani4ever]

I can't install AlmaLinux on ESXi VMWare 6.7. I got error: Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86-64-v2. Any idea how to resolve it? By the way we use ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus v2 AMD EPYC 7413 24-Core Processor

[@yosaSoft]

hello, would you like share how to install roundcube for webmail client on almalinux 9 please?

[@mystica-subs]

Can you please redo this showing manual partitioning?

[@alamba78]

While using wifi, I'm unable to run the command to install Server with GUI. I am getting a curl error 6 couldn't resolve host name for and also it mentions error failed to download metadata for appstream. Is this because I'm using wifi on a minimal install?

[@alamba78]

I think I forgot to enter a hostname. But, I went ahead and installed AlmaLinux workstation anyway. Problem solved.

[@victro2606]

How do you install a program from the usb in Alma linux?

[@nsxtogo6044]

Another great video. During installation in the networking section you have to Ethernet connection and a Wireless connection, I'm wondering about the seconed Ethernet, do you have two built-in physical Ethernet connection in your laptop?!!! Thanks again

[@MichaelFrancis222]

How you doing really good show, question how do I set up the enter key to goto the bios menu window, or is ti grub?

[@vilecoyote5673]

Please adjust your background music - It is very distracting when the volume ramps up and down.

[@MRPtech]

Same here. I had to stop this video twice to make sure that i don't have another tab opened with KZbin Music.

[@julioperez3936]

Hi congrat on your video

[@DonyDongiapon]

This is very helpful. Just installed AlmaLinux 9.1... then I tried to install pgbouncer but unsuccessful so far. Any help pls. thanks.

[@christostsekas8795]

Hello. Great tutorial! Would you recommend AlmaLinux 8 or the latest Almalinux 9? My company is gonna lease a dedicated server and and im gonna have Alma installed on. We will run VMs on it. I was going for Alma 8.8 but now im considering 9.2 for updated packages and longer support (if things turn out with red hat stuff). But Alma 8 is more tested. What is your opinion? Thank you!

[@samuelmf]

Very good, tuto, simple and accurate, i have alma linux installed on a hetzner server, on that server i install it using an image. In case i want to install it as custom iso in other of my servers in phoenixnap how can i install it without GUI?

[@Felix-ve9hs]

You can actually have up to 16 free RHEL installations, but only for a year before they have to be manually renewed (via E-Mail i guess). But I would rather use AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream or Oracle Linux would be my last resort 🤔

[@Im.Tabachnik]

thank you for this great Video. I try to install it on VirtualBox the Server version worked well, but when I try to change it to the GUI version is not work.

[@ziggyspaz]

Why not Rocky?

[@rowebil00]

0:55 "CentOS is no longer going to be a 1:1 compatible replacement for CentOS"?! What?!

tnx for the video

[@theBATfamiliar]

Hi, is this OS derived from CentOS? thanks for the video

[@thebdr7826]

Yeah, it is.

[@MiningForPies]

No it isn’t. It’s derived from REHL.

[@theBATfamiliar]

@@MiningForPies Thank you fellas, I was heart broken when IBM announced that they were stopping support on CentOS to move on this CentOS stream kind of thing, I want to build a brand new VM with Virtual Box, for studying purposes, I'll give AlmaLinux a go for sure, regards.
