Step-by-Step Guide to Downloading Specific CentOS Versions (e.g., 6.7)
This article provides a detailed, step-by-step tutorial on how to locate and download the exact CentOS version you need, including navigating the official website, selecting the correct architecture, choosing a mirror, and obtaining the appropriate ISO files.
Many users struggle to find and download the correct CentOS version; this guide walks you through the entire process.
1. Visit the official CentOS download page at https://www.centos.org/download/.
2. Do not click the yellow download boxes (DVD ISO, Everything ISO, Minimal ISO). Instead, click the red "alternative downloads" box.
3. Choose the CentOS version you need; the example uses CentOS 6.7.
4. After selecting the version, click the "Tree" link on the right to expand the directory.
5. Click the isos/ folder.
6. Select the appropriate architecture; for a 64‑bit system, choose the 64‑bit ISO.
7. Click the desired ISO file, such as CentOS-6.7-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso.
8. Choose a mirror (e.g., the Europe mirror) and proceed.
9. Navigate to the isos/ directory of the selected version.
10. Again select the 64‑bit version if needed.
11. Finally, download the minimal ISO, e.g., CentOS-6.7-x86_64-minimal.iso.
12. Click the download button to save the ISO to your local machine.
After the download completes, you can use the ISO to install CentOS or create virtual machines as needed.
