Install VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) on your computer.
Download the latest version of Rocky Linux Minimal ISO (https://rockylinux.org/download) on your computer.
Create a Rocky Linux Virtual Machine using VirtualBox.
Allocate 4 CPU cores, 4 GB of memory, and 100 GB of disk storage to this virtual machine. (Recommended)
Go to Tools and create a Host-Only Ethernet Adapter if one is not already present.
Go to the VM settings, enable the second network adapter, and set it to Host-only Adapter.
Start the Virtual Machine.
- Set the Root Password and enable SSH login.
- Set the Installation Destination to the 100 GB disk.
- Select “Development Tools” in the Software Selection section.
Once the VM is installed, log in as the root user and run the nmcli command.
Use the IP address of the enp0s8 interface (e.g., 192.168.56.103) to SSH into the VM from your host machine.
$ ssh root@192.168.56.103
