Step-by-Step Guide to Downloading the Correct CentOS Version
This article provides a detailed, illustrated tutorial on how to locate, select, and download the exact CentOS release you need—covering navigation of the official site, choosing the appropriate architecture, and retrieving the ISO file without confusion.
1. Open the official CentOS download page at https://www.centos.org/download/ .
2. Avoid the yellow‑highlighted download boxes (DVD ISO, Everything ISO, Minimal ISO) and click the red‑highlighted “alternative downloads” link.
3. Scroll down until the list of versions appears; this guide uses CentOS 6.7 as an example.
4. Click the Tree link next to the desired version.
5. Open the isos/ directory.
6. Choose the architecture that matches your machine (the example uses a 64‑bit system) and click the corresponding ISO file, e.g., CentOS-6.7-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso.
7. After selecting the ISO, click the Europe mirror to proceed.
8. Locate the exact version again (CentOS 6.7 in this case).
9. Enter the isos/ directory.
10. Again select the appropriate architecture (64‑bit for this guide).
11. Finally, click the CentOS-6.7-x86_64-minimal.iso link to start the download.
12. Once the download completes, the ISO file is ready for use; you can now install CentOS on a virtual machine or physical hardware.
Following these steps ensures you obtain the correct CentOS version without confusion.
