You shall need sudo access for all of these.

You might want to create a new user do as following

passwd <username>
usermod -aG wheel <username>

Install GUI

// Update the machine first ? I like to do that often. You can skip it.
yum update
// See available install groups
yum group list
yum group install -y "GNOME Desktop" "Graphical Administration Tools"
// Enabling GUI on startup
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
//Reboot
reboot
// Configure GUI on startup by connecting to machine.
