Howto:Installing VLC Media Player / RHEL 6.x / CentOS 6.x 32 bit / 64 bit ( x86_64) / Using Script / Linux
Hello Guys,
Updated on :- 16th May,2013
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.
VLC Media Player Installation
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.
1) You have to be root to execute this script.
2) Download RPM ( Auto VLC Redhat Centos6) which I have specially created for VLC Installation Script , You can use RPMs for CentOS 6 too.Click on Following link to Download RPM for Your Architecture :-
32 bit Users click on this link :- http://www.tejasbarot.com/RPMs/avrc6-tejas-barot-linux-0.1.0-1.el6.i686.rpm
64 bit Users click on this link :- http://www.tejasbarot.com/RPMs/avrc6-tejas-barot-linux-0.1.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
3) Execute Following Commands as per your Respective architecture :-
For 32 Bit Architecture :-
[root@linux-support-tejas-barot ~]# rpm -ivh avrc6-tejas-barot-linux-0.1.0-1.el6.i686.rpm
For 64(X86_64) bit Architecture :-
[root@linux-support-tejas-barot ~]# rpm -ivh avrc6-tejas-barot-linux-0.1.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
4) Download VLC Installation Script for RHEL6 and CentOS 6 ,
Click this link :- http://www.tejasbarot.com/Scripts/vlc6-installation.sh
5) Execute following Command where you have downloaded the script.
[root@linux-support-tejas-barot ~]# chmod +x vlc6-installation.sh
6). Now Execute your script by two ways mentioned below
[root@linux-support-tejas-barot ~]# sh vlc6-installation.sh OR [root@linux-support-tejas-barot ~]# ./vlc6-installation.sh
7) Once you Execute it will ask you 4 Options to Install as per your OS and Architecture and 5th Option for Exit Select Option as per your OS and Architecture
Press (R32) to Install VLC on RHEL 6.x on 32bit
Press (R64) to Install VLC on RHEL 6.x on 64bit
Press (C32) to Install VLC on CentOS 6.x on 32bit
Press (C64) to Install VLC on CentOS 6.x on 64bit
Press (E) to Exit anytime
Please Enter your Selection: <Put Your Option Here and Press Enter>
8) Remember you have to be normal user to run VLC Player, You cannot Run VLC Player as root.

Hello,
Are you trying to run as root ? If yes, then switch to normal user and then try.
Hello Tejas
thank you for this great installation script.
The installation works great but when I start vlc I get this error:
Package: vlc-1.1.11-1.el6.rf
Latest Crash: Di 25 Okt 2011 11:27:04
Command: vlc
Reason: Process /usr/bin/vlc was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT)
Comment: None
Bug Reports:
You have some idea what that can be?
I am new on Linux ^^ and have no idea what to do.
That’s great! It works the first time. Thanks.
The problem with both the solution in this article and the one HT suggests in his comment is you will effectively break the ability to rely on yum update to work. You see both rpmforge and rpmfusions have different builds of the same software. Eventually, you will find one of your updates will fail because the versions the dependencies for something comes from the wrong site for the update to work. If you are going to break the stability of your system, then it is probably better to use Fedora. I saw this problem almost right away with aalib on one site and aalib-lib on the other conflicting. Since rpmfusion is the site that best follows the rules of not overriding base packages, I would personally recommend only using rpmfusion and not rpmforge. But then of course there is no vlc package to installed.
Ultimately what I ended up doing is downloading the vlc source rpm, and rebuilding just to depend on rpmfusion and other dependencies I also rebuilt form the source rpms…
Hello,
You are using Higher version of RPM that’s why it is a problem.
Are you sure you are using rhel 6?
Please provide me output of following commands :-
#lsb_release -a
#cat /etc/redhat-release
#uname -a

Hi,
There are several method to do it and if you are good enough to do it by yum or rpm method then its easy but let me tell you this script for those who wants to install without any headache or knowing background process and also seen that most people are facing issue with dependences and they don’t know how to resolve it or then don’t want to waste time behind it, So because of that I have written script, this will helps to many people and its more for eAsy process instead of calling it “complication”.
Thanks for sharing but I do not understand why to compicate with an script and an rpm when you can do as follows:
1) Install rpmforge: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge
2) yum install yum-plugin-priorities -y
3) Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
and append line: priority = 1
after [rpmforge] and after [rpmforge-extras]
4) yum install vlc -y
That’s it.
Hi Tejas,
Good work!! It worked out of box for me.

Hi Punit,
This means that there is a problem with your Internet Connection. Are able to ping outside from your terminal ???
Let me know will try to help you out.
Hi,
First of all thank you for such kind of information.
But I am trying to install vlc in my redhat6 but very first time I thought that it will work fine but in the end the process gave me an error as follow:
“There is something wrong with your Internet Connection..Or You forgot some step.
Restoring your Previous repositories……”
can you please tell what is kind of network connection this installation required…
Hi Abhishek,
Pre-Requisites is that you of-course should have some good knowledge of Linux Commands as well as some trouble shooting.
Hi,
Thanks for the comment.
No You are not supposed to remove anything as it will not affect to your linux but yes if you want to remove you can remove avrc6-tejas-barot-linux-0.1.0-1.el6.i386 and rpmforge-release rpm which is installed by script. But if you dont want to remove keep it it will not make any effect but when you try to upgrade or install some other package it might conflict not sure.
What are the pre-requisite things one should know/learn before be able to make a scriptlike the one U have made.(Just asking,I never expect to really do it)
Thanks a LOT.Worked like butter for me.
Am I supposed to “remove” something after successful installation?
Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
It is may be because you have updated some package and its not compatible with current VLC Player.
Post me exact error will try to solve the error and let you know for the same.
I sucessfully ran your scriot on centos 6, then I had to delete it in order to run an update. next i tried to run the script again and it failed citing 3 missing packages. I hven’t got a clue on what to do next.
Regardless, thanks for the work you put into creating the script
