First, place your username in a text file in the /root directory with this echo command below.

echo "mydesktopusername" > /root/DEFAULT_DESKTOP_USERNAME.txt

Then install the pbase-repo and the Chrome web browser.

yum -y install https://pbase-foundation.com/pbase-repo.rpm
yum -y install pbase-preconfig-chrome
yum -y install google-chrome-stable

Install the RPM fusion media libraries and applications.

yum -y install pbase-rpmfusion
yum -y install rpmfusion-free-release-tainted
yum -y install rpmfusion-nonfree-release-tainted
yum -y groupinstall multimedia
yum -y install libdvdcss
yum -y install vlc ffmpeg obs-studio

Install Node JS, Yarn and Gatsby JS command line tools

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
yum -y install nodejs
yum -y install pbase-gatsby-tools
yum -y install yarn

Install VirtualBox host. Substitute the mydesktopusername with your desktop user name.

yum -y install VirtualBox-6.1
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
usermod -a -G vboxusers mydesktopusername
