| **Optional**: to apply CERN's updates on top of the standard CentOS7 OS, the script ''CERNify_CentOS7.sh'' (see below) can be used (last tested on Aug. 6, 2020). The only prerequisite to run it is the ''CentOS-CERN.repo'' file (also available below) for the relevant CC7 packages to be added (this file can be obtained from the CERN Service Desk). | **Optional**: to apply CERN's updates on top of the standard CentOS7 OS, the script ''CERNify_CentOS7.sh'' (see below) can be used (last tested on Aug. 6, 2020).
