How to install the GCC compiler in CentOS 7?

Publisher: Psychz Networks,  March 17,2019

GCC (short for GNU Compiler Collection), is a collection of programming compilers including C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada. GCC is a key component of the GNU toolchain and the standard compiler for most Unix-like operating systems. The Free Software Foundation distributes GCC under the GNU General Public License.

In the following tutorial, we will perform GCC installation on CentOS 7. The installation process is quite simple and should not take more than 10 minutes.

Step 1: Perform an update on the server

Note: You need to log in to your CentOS 7 VPS via SSH as user root

#ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_number

To update all installed packages on the server you can use the following command

#yum -y update

Step 2: Install GCC from the repository

GCC can be easily installed from the official CentOS repositories. Run the following command to install GCC on your server

#yum -y install gcc

Output:

Complete!

Step 3: Verify GCC installation on CentOS 7

After the compilation process is completed. You can check if GCC is properly installed.

# gcc --version

Output:
