Install CentOS Linux on Windows with VMware Player

It would be very helpful for a programmer to run different virtual machines on one desktop PC while we test our program.  Here we show the procedures of installing CentOS under the VMware Player.

Start the VMware Player.

 Click 'Create a New Virtual Machine','Next'

 

Select 'I'll install the operating System Later'

 

Select 'Linux', click 'Next'

Set Location if you want to change  the default setting. Click 'Next'

 

 

Click 'Next'

 

Click 'Finish'

 

 

Click 'Edit virtual machine settings'

 

Click 'OK'

 

Select 'CD/DVD'. Select 'Use ISO image file' if you are using an ISO centos file.

 

 

Click 'Play virtual machine'

 

Start installing CentOS6 as usual.
