Hi Adnan,

You have two possibilities - either select "Server with GUI" in the Anaconda installer during the preparation of the installation process or (when you didn't do this and the system is already installed and running) afterwards by executing three commands.
sudo yum group install "GNOME" | sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target | sudo reboot Enjoy ... :)

Regards,
Christian

Hi Adnan,

Christian gives good info.

Remember when running the three commands above, to run them individually such as:

sudo yum group install "GNOME"
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
sudo reboot

See this article https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5238 for various versions of RHEL. We suspect you might be using RHEL 7, however that solution id shows various versions of RHEL.

Lastly, if your pursuit of this encounters issues, examine the Red Hat discussion area, the search feature at the right of the discussion area allows you to type search phrases such asa "GUI" which would produce this link https://access.redhat.com/discussions?title=gui&product=All&tags=All where others who have had issues and got some assistance.

Anyway, try what Christian said

Regards

RJ
