Nagios Support Forum

Hello All,
I hope it is appropriate to ask about related tools questions here.
I have Nagios XI R1.8. Did a fresh install on VMware workstation.
I have scoured the web and spent hours attempting different methods to install VMWare tools on this install.
I am new to Linux, isn't there their a command line yum install or something?
Please give step by step I am a reforming windows guy and have not dealt with a CMI since VMS.

Thank you,
Rick

Somewhere on the VMware site is a download link for linux vmware tools, once you have the tar then you need to use SCP/SFTP/etc to upload it to the server. Use the tar -xzf command to unzip it then follow the instructions (vi toolsdir/INSTALL I think)... it's pretty straight forward I think you just have to run a couple make commands and your done.

My personal suggestion would be to install Putty and use that as your shell access to the XI server, unless there's something in particular you need the VMWare tools for ; )

Thank you for your help, between this forum and some outside help I was able to complete the install.

Good deal, thanks for the update
