How To Turn off SELinux using command line

by

To turn off SELinux using the command line, you can use the following steps:

  1. Log in to the system as the root user.
  2. Edit the /etc/selinux/config file using a text editor such as vi or nano:
vi /etc/selinux/config
  1. Change the SELINUX parameter to disabled:
SELINUX=disabled
  1. Save and close the file.
  2. Reboot the system to apply the changes:
reboot

After the system reboots, SELinux will be turned off.

Note that turning off SELinux can have security implications, so you should only do this if you have a good reason to do so and are aware of the risks. If you do need to turn off SELinux, you should consider implementing other security measures to compensate for the loss of protection that SELinux provides.
