Hi,
I have a CentOS 7 vm running in Workstation Player 15. I am trying to install VMWare Tools, as I believe I need this to set up Shared Folders. There does not appear to be a simple installation process. I try to install VMWare Tools from the application, but see the option unavailable like in vmwaretools1.png attached
open-vm-tools is installed on my machine.
I attempted the following steps:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
But when I check the contents of /mnt/cdrom/, the expected VMWare Tools tar.gz file is not there, see vmwaretools2.png attached
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like you still have the CentOS installation disc mounted to the CD-ROM drive.
Hi,
Thank you for the reply! I need to download the VMWare Tools iso from Index of /45848/tools , yes? And then mount it to the CD-ROM drive instead of the CentOS installation disc. Could you advise as to what version I need? Can provide more info if required
