it is yum, not Yum... Capitals are different than lower case in Linux
it is my typo, yum grouplist will list the groups of install packages by type

I would recommend not using Graphical interface as it will consume more resources than are needed.
The user on their workstation can use a Graphical tool for each Database that you want and connect to the VM on the respective DB
workbench for mysql

I do this again:
"Yum groupinstall "graphical/desktop environment" "

The GUI platform provides for tools to perform the different tasks, those tools are not transferable to actual server setup which are commonly deployed without a GUI.

"Did you try: startx ?"
no.
it seems that DURING installation I can select that option to include GUI.
fedora don't have GUI for me on the installation screen.
Seth Simmons,
it seems only the root has the right to run that :
Seth Simmons,
when I do this:
"fedora
dnf groupinstall "Development and Creative Workstation" gnome"
it say "Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates' , any reason for that?
