If you don't have VMware, install one of the VMware products from.The result is a CentOS-6.4 64-bit distribution, packaged as a VMware image that can be readily used to run dynamic websites and other server applications. We added the Apache webserver, cron, Perl and other libraries typically needed in a server environment. There was no VMware image with CentOS-6 minimal available for download, so we had to build one from scratch. There is a minimal distribution of CentOS-6 that has no GUI, it boots directly into a shell console. There are CentOS-6 VMware images readily available for download, but they have a lot of bloat that is not needed in a server environment. The latest TWiki-VM-6.0.0-1 uses CentOS-6. Previous TWiki releases contained CentOS-5. The TWiki project releases TWiki also as a VMware virtual machine (VM). The VMware virtual machine image can be downloaded as well, which enables you to quickly and easily run Linux on Windows, Mac OS-X or any other x86 based platforms VMware and VirtualBox (Oracle VM) supports. This article describes how to build and use a VMware virtual machine containing a minimal CentOS-6.4 64-bit guest operating system, enhanced with libraries typically needed in a server environment. The default CentOS distribution is too bloated for webserver use. Perl libraries: perl-CGI, perl-CGI-Session, perl-HTML-Parser, perl-Archive-Tar, perl-Authen-SASL, perl-GD, perl-libwww-perlĬentOS ( Community Enterprise Operating System) is a very popular Linux distribution based on RedHat Enterprise Linux.

System libraries: gcc, kernel-devel, make, patch, vim-enhanced, httpd, openssh-clients, mod_ssl, wget, ntp, crontabs, perl, rcs, tcpdump, time, zip, unzip, gd.
