Vmware Tools Centos 7 Iso Download

Learning has never been so easy!

I recently worked on a project to virtualize the server environment for the company I work for. We utilize Linux services as part of our infrastructure, and it was my responsibility to implement our new Linux VM’s. Being that we use VMware vSphere 5 for our server virtualization, I needed to install VMware Tools on the Linux VM’s. Below are the steps you’ll need to take to install VMware Tools on your CentOS Linux virtual machine.
Note: This will work on VMware vSphere, Workstation, or Fusion

However, it appears that CentOS 7 has it's own modules built-in which is causing the message. Have started the process but because CentOS.

Choose either x64 or x86 based on the VM's OS. This will allow you to download the VMware Tools.exe file and download the VMware Tools ISO image. There are different ISO images to support different OSes -- these are but a few: Windows.iso supports Windows Vista and later.

    You need perl installed to be able to run the installer, and it's not installed by default - at least on a minimal install. So step 5 should be:

    yum -y install gcc kernel-devel perl

    Hi,

    did someone here try to install VmWare tools on a CentOS 7 VM?
    can you tell me if it went well please?
    Have started the process but because CentOS 7 is brand new, VmWare tools installtion script has some problems to locate few components and in my case the linux-headers... CentOS 7 is coming with a 3.10.x linux kernel.

    I'm new on CentOS, I'm more an Ubuntu lover, nobody is perfect :-}
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards
    Erix

    Did you try the following command (mentioned above)?

    yum -y install gcc kernel-devel perl

    You may also try disabling SELinux, changing /etc/selinux/config:
    SELINUX=disabled

    Hope it helps!

    Another easy way:

    Centos 6:
    #wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
    #rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
    #yum -y install open-vm-tools

    Centos 7:
    #yum -y install open-vm-tools

    Done!
