Step 1 – Install and Enable Remi Repository
Firstly, we will add the Remi repository to the CentOS 7 system. The Remi repository provides the latest version of Redis package for our installation.
Before adding the Remi repository, let’s install the EPEL repository and yum utility packages.
sudo yum install epel-release yum-utils
Now add the Remi repository for CentOS 7 using the yum command below.
sudo yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
After that, enable the ‘remi’ repository using the yum-config-manager tool as below.
sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi

Couldn’t find any article that explained step by step how to resize the main disks volume in a CentOS 7 vm. In my example I started witha single disk of 8GB and expanded to 20GB. I have two partitions on disk sda
sda1 type Linux for boot
sda2 type Linux LVM for the remaining logical volumes
Space utilisation as following:
[root@vcd-c1-s1 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.9G 8.8M 3.9G 1% /run tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/centos-root 6.2G 1.9G 4.4G 31% / /dev/sda1 1014M 179M 836M 18% /boot tmpfs 783M 0 783M 0% /run/user/0

Installing Development Tools
Development tools are required for building Python modules. To install the necessary tools and libraries type:
sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
Enable Software Collections (SCL)
Software Collections , also known as SCL is a community project that allows you to build, install, and use multiple versions of software on the same system, without affecting system default packages. By enabling SCL you will gain access to the newer versions of programming languages and services which are not available in the core repositories.
CentOS 7 ships with Python 2.7.5 which is a critical part of the CentOS base system. SCL allows you to install newer versions of python 3.x alongside the default python v2.7.5 so that system tools such as yum will continue to work properly.
To enable SCL, you need to install the CentOS SCL release file. It is part of the CentOS extras repository and can be installed by running the following command:
sudo yum install centos-release-scl
