Getting Started Install Rocky Linux 9.2 Server

Before we dive in installing Rocky Linux 9.2, make sure you have the following ready:

  • A computer or server where you want to install Rocky Linux 9.2. (Minimun HDD : 20GB, RAM : 4GB, System Type : 64-bit x86 System)
  • A bootable USB drive or installation CD with Rocky Linux 9.2.
  • An internet connection is recommended for updates during installation.

Step 1: Download The Latest Rocky Linux 9.2

For installing Rocky Linux 9 you can obtain a minimal ISO image of Rocky Linux 9.2 by downloading it from the Official Rocky Linux download page. The minimal ISO file measures approximately 1.6GB in size, so it’s crucial to ensure that you possess a fast and dependable internet connection and have ample disk space on your system.

Step 2: Booting from the Installation Media

First and foremost, insert your bootable USB drive or installation CD into your computer’s drive. Then, restart your system. Furthermore, be sure to set your system to boot from the installation media.

  1. As your computer boots up, you may see a message like “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.” Go ahead and press any key.
  2. Moreover, if your system doesn’t automatically boot from the installation media, you’ll need to enter the BIOS settings. Typically, you can access the BIOS by pressing the “F2” or “Del” key during the boot process. Navigate to the “Boot” menu and select the installation media as your boot device.
  3. However, different computers may have slightly different BIOS interfaces, so consult your computer’s manual if you’re unsure about accessing the BIOS.

Step 3: Rocky Linux 9.2 Installation Screen

Once your system boots from the installation media, you’ll be greeted by the Rocky Linux 9 installation screen. Here, you’ll be presented with several options:

  • Test this media & install Rocky Linux 9.2
  • Troubleshooting

Select “Install Rocky Linux 9.2” to start the installation process.

Once the installer is started, the Rocky Linux 9.2 Welcome page will be displayed, and the first course of action is to select the installation language. So, choose your preferred language and click ‘Continue’.

Step 4: Installation Summary

In this step, we will get the following initial installation summary. To begin the installation, first we must complete marked items like ‘Installation Destination’ and ‘User settings’.

Here you are able to customize the installation according to your needs.

  • System (Installation Destination)
  • Activate Root Password
  • Create a local user
  • Date & Time
  • Software Selection
  • Kdump
  • Network & Host Name
  • Security Policy

Language and Keyboard Settings

Next, you’ll be prompted to select your preferred language and keyboard layout. Choose the options that suit your preferences. On the other hand, if you’re not sure, you can go with the default settings for a typical installation.

Time and Date Settings

Select your timezone and ensure the system clock is set correctly. By default, the installer auto-detects your region and corresponding timezone if your server is connected to the internet.

Kdump

Now, let’s explore Kdump. By default, Kdump is enabled, and it is advisable to keep it enabled for diagnosing kernel-level crashes. To disable it, click on the option and uncheck the box. For further information on Kdump, you can click here.

Root Password

Set a strong password for the root user. This is a crucial step in ensuring the security of your system.

Once you’ve entered your root password, click “Done”.

User Creation

While the installation is ongoing, you can create a user account. This account will allow you to log in to your Rocky Linux system once the installation is complete. Creating a regular user account provides an additional layer of security and is recommended for daily use.

Once you’ve created your user and password, click “Done”.

Network Configuration

Configure your network settings, such as setting a hostname and enabling or disabling network interfaces. Connect your system to the internet by configuring your network settings. If you’re unsure, the automatic DHCP setting usually works well for most users.

Disk Configuration/ Partitioning

Installing Rocky Linux 9 now comes a crucial step – disk partitioning. This is where you decide how Rocky Linux 9.2 will be installed on your system. You have a few options here:

  1. Automatically configure partitioning: This option lets Rocky Linux set up the partitions for you. It’s the easiest choice for most users. Just click “Done” after reviewing the proposed partitioning.
  2. Create custom partition layout: If you’re an advanced user or have specific partitioning requirements, choose this option. You can manually configure the partitions as needed.
  3. Subsequently, review and confirm your partitioning choices before proceeding.

In the ‘Local Standard Disks’ section, you’ll find your hard disk drive listed. For the purposes of this guide, we are working with a 32GB hard drive. Ensure that you click on the hard drive icon to mark it with a black check mark.

As previously mentioned, the default partitioning scheme is configured as Automatic. This choice is particularly suitable for beginners in Linux or individuals who are unfamiliar with manual hard drive partitioning. This option automates and intelligently manages the partitioning process, relieving you of the effort of partitioning the drive.

Step 5: Start Install Rocky Linux 9.2

With your partitioning preferences in place, you’re ready to begin the installation. Click “Begin Installation” to kick things off. Meanwhile, you can customize other settings, such as the root password and user creation, while the installation process runs in the background.
