Getting started with Linux: Installing VMware Tools In Debian

Installing a tool in Linux is not as easy as running the next step on Windows, so you can complete the installation, especially for driver-level installation such as VMware Tools.

One of the biggest features of Linux installation is the use of terminals to constantly knock on commands. The following describes how to install VMware Tools In Debian 7 and how to use Linux. The Virtual Machine Used is VMware9.0.

I believe that my friends who are familiar with Windows, just like me, do not know how to use Linux after installing a Linux system.

Install VMware Tools in Red Hat 6.2

Install VMware10 Tools in Ubuntu 14.04

Install VMTools in VMware Workstation 9.0

Install VMware Tools on a Linux Virtual Machine

1. First, it is the VMWare part. In the menu bar of VMWare, choose VM-> Install VMware Tools to enter the Linux part. Note that when the Debian virtual machine is started, the loaded CD must be empty. Sometimes, after Debian is installed, you always forget to load your Debian installation ISO. In this case, press the application in the upper right corner In Debian> attachment> file, access the file browser in Linux, which is equivalent to the Windows Resource Manager.

2. You will find that there is a VMware cd in the optical drive in the device column. This is not in a Windows Virtual Machine. If VMware Tools is loaded, it will be automatically installed. You must install it manually.

3. In this case, we do not need to decompress the vmwaretools00009.2.3-1031360.tar.gz file on this device. We must first configure the C/C ++ compiling environment for Linux. Install VMware Tools. Open the Root terminal of Debian to perform operations. Enter the root password we set during Debian installation. Then, check the Linux version number. Run the following command:

Uname-a view system version

4. For example, my system version is the string of Linux debian 3.2.0-4-686-pae plus a suffix, that is, 3.2.0-4-686-pae, because you need to enter the following three lines immediately:

Cd/usr/src

Ln-s linux-headers-3.2.0-4-686-pae linux

Export CC =/usr/bin/gcc-4.1

The cd in the first line means to enter the usr/src directory. Note that there are spaces between cd and usr/src. The usr/src directory is available in all Linux systems.

IN the second row, ln is LN, not IN.

The next two lines of command will immediately load gcc in this directory, which will soon be installed.

Without gcc, VMware Tools cannot be installed. Just like some Windows software requires. NET Framework support.
