To install "Screen" -> yum install screen -y To start a new screen -> screen To close a screen -> screen -d To summarize a screen -> screen -a

Before installing any tool, verify that the CentOS repositories and operating system are in the latest version with:

yum -y groups install "GNOME Desktop" -y
Once the process is finished, you can start the graphical environment by typing
startx
