Did you install Fedora Server and you are now wondering how can you install a graphical desktop?
Follow the steps below to do exactly this:
Step 1: List all available groups to install.
$ yum group list
This command should show a big list of yum groups that are available for install:

Now for example I would like to have the “Cinnamon” desktop I simply run the following command:
Step 2: Install the cinnamon desktop group.
$ yum groupinstall "Cinnamon Desktop"
of-course if you want any other desktop for example Xfce then simply change the above command to:
$ yum groupinstall "Xfce Desktop"
I think you get the idea now how this works! so we need to run one more command to tell Fedora Server to start from now on in a Graphical Mode. If you do not want this and you wish to start it manual then simply skip the step below.
Step 3: Change systemd to start graphical mode.
$ systemctl set-default graphical.target
Now reboot your server and if your performed step 3 you will start in your chosen desktop.
