# How to install GNOME on PVE.

First, run this command:
```bash
apt install gnome -y
```
If you want a minimal installation of GNOME, run
```bash
apt install gnome-shell -y
```

## After install

GDM Doesn't allow you to login with `root`. I recommend to create a specific user for GDM.

### 1. Non-root user
```bash
adduser {whatever}
```

Change the placeholder to the username of the user you want to create.
To add the user to `sudo`, run
```bash
usermod -aG sudo {whatever}
```
Replacing the placeholder with the user you just created.

### 2. Disable GDM's restriction
Edit the file at `/etc/pam.d/gdm-password`

and find
```
auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success
```

And add a hashtag(#) like so:
```
#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success
```
## After:

Reboot(`reboot now`) to apply changes
