"Linux" installs VMware Tools in Debian

Installing a thing on Linux, unlike Windows, does not stop the next step, you can finish the installation, especially as the driver level installation of VMware Tools, you have to spend a lot of effort to fix.

One of the biggest features of Linux installations is the use of terminals to constantly knock commands. The following side is installed in Debian7 with VMware tools to explain the basic use of Linux. The virtual machine used is VMware9.0

I believe that the friend who is familiar with windows, just like me, installed Linux system still do not know how to use Linux.

1, the first part of VMware, in the VMware menu bar, select Vm->install VMware Tools to enter the Linux section, note that when the Debian virtual machine is started, the loaded CD must be empty, Sometimes when you install Debian you always forget not to load your Debian installation ISO, at this time in Debian, in the top right corner of the application------and file, into the Linux file browser, the equivalent of Windows Explorer.

2. You will find that there is a VMware CD-ROM in one of the device's fields, which is not in the Windows virtual machine, and it will be installed automatically by the load of VMware tools. You must manually install it yourself.

3, below, our task is not to the device on the vmwaretools+9.2.3-1031360.tar.gz of the file first decompression. We must first configure the C + + compiler environment for Linux. The installation of VMware tools will continue. At this point, the Debian root terminal is opened for operation. You must enter the root password of the Debian setup that we are installing. Then check out our Linux version number first. by command:

4, for example, my system version is Linux Debian 3.2.0-4-686-pae that string number plus suffix, that is: 3.2.0-4-686-pae, because immediately after the following three lines to enter the command:

Cd/usr/srcln-s linux-headers-3.2.0-4-686-pae Linuxexport cc=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1

The CD in the first line is meant to be the same as the Windows command prompt, which means entering the USR/SRC directory. Note that there are spaces for CDs and USR/SRC. USR/SRC This directory is available in all Linux.

And the second line is that LN is ln, not in.

The next two lines of command represent the immediate loading of GCC in this directory, which is quickly installed.

No Gcc,vmware tools can be installed at all. Just like some Windows software requires. NET Framework support.

5, then the VM virtual machine loaded into the Linux CD into the directory of our Linux. Linux comes with decompression function, directly enter the following command, fill a space, put in the CD-ROM vmwaretools+9.2.3-1031360. Tar.gz drag into the terminal, just like you drag files to the command line in Windows, press ENTER, you can see the decompression of this compressed file on the Terminal Brush screen.

Tar zxvf

6, after you can see in your file system usr/src more than the following folder, drag the vmware-install.pl into the terminal press ENTER, and then started the installation process of VMware tools.

7, after always press ENTER, according to the default configuration, until the occurrence of one of the following, continue to press ENTER to eliminate, then change to enter No. Linux has finally started installing VMware tools.

8. After finishing, the install success! appears Enjoy the word VMware tools!, complete the installation. Close all windows, press the user name in the upper right corner of PC to select Restart Linux. Reboot, may be in the following interface card a small, this is normal phenomenon. After rebooting, it is found that the Debian screen can be larger, and pressing Ctrl+alt+enter to reach the full screen will mean that VMware Tools is installed.

9, at this time, you also want to enter USR/SRC delete that Vmware-tools-distrib folder, and all its contents. You can right-click the folder, choose to move to the Recycle Bin, and then empty the Recycle Bin, such as:

You can also completely delete the Vmware-tools-distrib folder by entering the following command at the terminal:

Rm-rf/usr/src/vmware-tools-distrib

This completes the installation of VMware tools in Debian completely, and allows you to interact with the host's windows to pull files from each other.

At the same time, in the application column, there are other options, Debian provides us with games, and Notepad, like an attachment to Windows:

At the same time at the terminal also has like the Windows Dir, gives us to query the current directory of all the files, the Linux terminal, that is equivalent to Windows command line CMD instructions are as follows:
