VBoxGuestAdditions for linux without GUI

[bremenpl]

Hello there,
I have set up a linux guest (Debian jessie no graphical interface). I noticed I cannot mount vm additions (they didnt show up in media folder). So I transfered them manually using scp. After running the .sh script it failed telling me that I have no graphical user interface. Is it really neaded to install them? All I need is full screen and shared folders functionality. Is it possible to install vm additions on a linux guest without any gui? All help would be apreciated!

Read the above completely.

Yes you can have the shared folders but the screen auto-resize is only available if you have X installed.
