startx

Step 2: Enable GUI on system start up. In CentOS 7,  systemd uses “targets” instead of run levels; /etc/inittab file is no more used to change run levels. Issue the following command to enable the GUI on system start.

# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

Step 3: Reboot the machine to start the server in the graphical mode.

# reboot
