This article describes how to install Vmware Tools on a Linux virtual machine. I hope this tutorial will help you.
A simple Linux tutorial. If you are interested, take a look!
If it is in the Xwindows interface, the entire operation is very simple, just like the operation in windows. I will focus on the lack of graphical interfaces, such as the installation method of VMtools in the case of Minimal and Web Basic installation.
First, click Install Vmware Tools in the VM menu. Go to Linux and perform the following operations:
# Mount/dev/cdrom/TARGETDIR // mount the optical drive to the specified directory. The read-only mode is automatically set.
# Cd/TARGETDIR // switch to the Mount directory
# Ll // check the file structure in the directory to check whether the mounting is successful
# Tar-xvf VMwareTools-9.x.x-xxxxxx.tar.gz-C/DEST // extract the file to the appropriate directory. -X indicates extract-v indicates the view and viewing process;-f indicates the file to be decompressed;-C indicates the directory where the file needs to be decompressed.
# Cd/DEST
#./Vmware-install.pl run the Vmware-Tools installation script
The subsequent steps are simple. You only need to follow the instructions step by step. After that, you can see enjoy. Congratulations!
