Just a quick post here today. This is in regards to installing open-vm-tools on CentOS. There’s no need to download and install separate epel-release files anymore as it’s now in the CentOS extras repo directly.
To install them, just use this command, then install open-vm-tools.
yum -y –enablerepo=extras install epel-release
– extras is enabled by default but the –enablerepo caters for those that have disabled it.
Enjoy!
