CentOS 6 VMware Tools Install the Easy Way

Initiate the VMware tools install on your CentOS 6.2 VM.

Open a SSH session to your VM and copy/paste this:

 

yum -y install perl
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz /tmp
umount /mnt/cdrom
tar -zxf /tmp/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz -C /tmp

cd /

./tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl --default 

rm -f /tmp/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz rm -rf /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

 

Just like that! VMware Tools installed!
