Hello Guys,

I  got huge response from you guys for My Previous VLC installation script on RHEL 5.x, So Many Users requested me to post Same Kind of Script for RHEL 6 and I am done with it. I am Very thankful to each and every user who have given so nice response to my that post. I hope they will enjoy this post too

Previously I have written Script to Install VLC Player on RHEL 5.x 32 bit for Automatic Installation, You can say a script which i have designed to install VLC Player Very Quickly and without any dependecy problems.

This time I have written script to install VLC Player on RHEL 6.x and CentOS 6.x for Both Architecture ( 32bit and X86_64 (64Bit). I hope this script helps you.

To Make it more simple I have created Own RPM So This time there will be 1 additional step that You have to follow.

Note :- This script is tested in Local Environment, Think many times before you execute on Production/Local/Anywhere, Do it at your OWN RISK.

Following things must exist on your Computer/Linux to execute this script:-

=> Direct Working Internet Connection or Yum Should run from Terminal. If you are using Internet connection with Proxy then it will be problematic for you.

=> RHEL 6.x and CentOS 6.x must be installed with 32bit or X86_64 Arch.

This time couple of addition steps to make it more simple. So This time VLC Installation in 7 Steps.
