VMware Tools is a tool that comes with VMware Workstation for virtual machines. Its role is to enable users to drag files from the physical host directly into the virtual machine. If we don't install it, we can't transfer the file between the virtual machine and the physical machine. Here's how to install it all.
Whether you're using Windows or Linux, it's much more convenient to drag directly to Windows when transferring files.
Open Terminal:
- Graphical interface: General Right-click menu has, if not, in Applications > Accessories > Terminal can be opened;
- Command line: The command line can be said to run directly at the terminal, without opening;
Then log in with the root user;
Installing Vmware-tools
I installed the Vmare tolls option on the virtual machine > Install, and then a dialog box pops up with this zip file: vmwaretools-10.0.5-3228253.tar.gz
Copy the file to the/tmp file:
under the TMP directory:
Unzip the copy of the previous file: Tar zxf vmwaretools-10.0.5-3228253.tar.gz
Then, go to the Unpacked folder/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib under: Cd/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
Run./vmware-install.pl
When you've installed it, finally, restart it.
