How To Turn off SELinux using command line

To turn off SELinux using the command line, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal and log in as the root user or use sudo to execute the commands.

2. Edit the SELinux configuration file by typing the following command:

nano /etc/selinux/config

This will open the /etc/selinux/config file in the nano text editor.

3. Find the SELINUX directive in the file and change its value to disabled. The directive should look like this:

SELINUX=disabled

4. Save the changes and exit the text editor.

5. Reboot the system for the changes to take effect. Type the following command:

reboot

After the system reboots, SELinux will be disabled. To verify that SELinux is disabled, type the following command:

sestatus

If SELinux is disabled, the output should include the following line:

SELinux status:                 disabled

Note: Disabling SELinux may reduce the security of your system, as SELinux provides an additional layer of security by enforcing security policies on processes and users. It is generally recommended to keep SELinux enabled and properly configured. If you are experiencing problems with SELinux, it is generally better to troubleshoot and fix the issue rather than disabling SELinux altogether.
