sudo yum install VBoxAdditions, gcc kernel-devel dkms perl, make
cd /run/media/****/VBOXADDITIONS*
sudo ./VBoxLiuxAdditions

sudo yum install java java-1.8-openjdk-devel git

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3 (or the appropriate network adaptor) set 'ONBOOT=yes'

mkdir ~/git
cd ~/git
git clone -u 'sh gup.sh' paulp@*****:d:/Users/****/Documents/git-server/miscellany.git

ln -sf ~/git/miscellany/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -sf ~/git/miscellany/bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases
