Creating from Template
1- Red Hat Linux Installation Process
2- Selecting the Installation Device
3- If required, you can select the Server with GUI option to be able to manage the operating system through user interface.

Additional Configuration

After the installation of the operating system, additional steps are required to complete the installation of the system. These settings will have to be done with a root user.

1- The server is registered in Red Hat to update it

2- The lvm partition for swap is created:

3- The /home partition is created to install in the user fuseadmin, all the configuration needed for the SII

4- Partitions created from /swap and /home are recorded in /etc/fstab

Contents of /etc/fstab

5- The user fuseadmin is created, for the installation of Tomcat and Fuse 6.3

6- The user fuseadmin is added to the wheel group to have root permissions (exclusively for the installation)

8- Swap partition is enabled and checked

9- In the rest of manual, we will always use the user fuseadmin

10- Preparing Fuse Configuration Files
We will need a series of files for the project that will come in a compressed file called release.tar.gz that we download and extract in the ~/ Downloads/ folder.

We can do the extraction with:
cd ~/Downloads/
tar xvzf release.tar.gz
