I recently set up PrimeOS on a virtual machine but faced issues installing Open VM Tools. I downloaded the tools from GitHub, placed them in the VM, and tried running them via the Android terminal, but kept receiving permission denied errors. After moving the folder to the system partition, the problem persisted. I attempted to adjust permissions with the chmod command, though it didn’t resolve the issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. open-vm-tools github

I didn't attempt any specific commands, and I didn't encounter any errors in this interaction.

while setting up open vm tools, you face permission issues during configuration. After applying the chmod change, the system reports a missing file error when running ./configure. It seems the command path might be incorrect or the file isn't accessible at that moment. Double-check the command syntax and ensure the directory exists before attempting to configure.
