To update CentOS Linux, follow these steps:
- Open a terminal window on your CentOS system.
- Update the package lists by running the command:
sudo yum update
This command will download and install the latest package information for your system.
- Once the package lists are updated, you can update your system by running the command:
sudo yum upgrade
This command will download and install any available updates for your system.
- After the upgrade is complete, it’s a good idea to reboot your system to ensure that all updates are properly applied.
sudo reboot
- Once your system has rebooted, you can check that the updates were installed correctly by running the command:
cat /etc/redhat-release
This command will display the current version of CentOS that is installed on your system.
Note that the specific commands and procedures for updating CentOS may vary depending on your system and the version of CentOS you are using. Be sure to consult the CentOS documentation or support resources if you encounter any issues or have questions about the update process.
