Hi Dude. Today i will write post about install Alma Linux 8. This is very basic and and actually this OS installation is outdated because out there already use cloud base. In cloud base, user just click and deploy is available in 5 minutes. Its amazing right.? 🙂
Why Alma Linux?
This is a very interesting question. In my opinion there are several things that made me choose Alma Linux.
- AlmaLinux OS is 1:1 binary compatible with RHEL® and pre-Stream CentOS. Ths is claimed that declared in website.
- Used in cPanel/WHM. As we know cPanel WHM is a Web Hosting Management company that chose Alma Linux as one of the operating systems that supports installation.
- Maintain configuration structure of server that were previously based on Centos or Redhat OS.
If we want deploy manual in our infrastructure bare metal, there is nothing wrong with this method. Ok Lets do it.

Before starti installation, we have to downlos OS from official repo, and then burn it or copy to USB to installation.

After download and copy to usb or burn to cd, we can boot it and will show installation page. Select “Install Almalinux”.

Finished. Reboot System.
