VMware tools on Linux without X
by iam8up on Apr.01, 2010, under linux, vmware
Tell your VMware application (Server, ESX, ESXi, Workstation, etc) to install VMware Tools. It will insert a CD in the drive. You will probably need to mount it by hand
mount /dev/cdrom /media
Then get it going
cp /media/VMwareTools*.tar.gz /tmp
cd /tmp
tar -xzf VMwareTools*
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
From what I understand the RPM has never worked. This worked on CentOS 5.2 just fine. I’ve always used defaults.
