To install VMWare tools using YUM on CentOS/RHEL 6.5, do the following.
Note, I’m logged in as the ‘root’ user, but you could execute these commands using ‘sudo’ as well.
Step 1: Download and import GPG keys
[root@techedemic /var/tmp]# wget http://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub [root@techedemic /var/tmp]# rpm --import VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub |
Step 2: Add VMWare repository
# Create/Modify /etc/yum.repos.d/vmware-tools.repo, I use 'vim' as an editor [root@techedemic /var/tmp]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/vmware-tools.repo |
