Install missing packages:
transactional-update pkg install cockpit cockpit-bridge cockpit-doc cockpit-kdump cockpit-machines cockpit-packagekit cockpit-pcp cockpit-storaged cockpit-system cockpit-tukit cockpit-ws

Reboot the system.

Start cockpit service

systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket

In a browser, load the Cockpit UI using https://:9090.

If it's unreachable, check if firewalld is enabled:
systemctl status firewalld

Most probably, port 9090 is not opened:
firewall-cmd --list-ports

Open it:

firewall-cmd --add-port=9090/tcp
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent
firewall-cmd --list-ports

If this doesn't work, try disabling the firewall:
systemctl status firewalld
