This Guide instructs you on how to install the X Server as well as to make the X Server boot everytimechosen desktop if using Fedora 19 or later. To install after After Amahi Express has finished installing , execute the following commands:
== Commands ==
"Become root:  su -" Enter your password for the root user. Now you will enter the command that will install the various packages to create a usable GUI. For users who would like Gnome 3, enter  yum -y install @gnome For the users who want Mate, enter  yum -y install @mate For the users who want XFCE, enter  yum -y install @xfce There are several other GUI desktop environments that are easy to install this way.

Enter your password for the root user== Force GUI on Boot ==
yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"Next we need to make sure it boots into init 5. This used to be done by editing the inittab to use 5 instead of 3 as it's default. In Fedora 19 and above the inittab is not used. Instead, issue command to make the graphical user interface the default.
yum ln -y install Xorgsf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

Open this file in This will cause your favourite editor and scroll down just a little bit say, till the 18th-20th line (usually) till you find something similar HDA to this:boot into init 3 again.
