Red Hat Enterprise Linux5 install VMware tools on VMware note

Due to work requirements, a linux Server version based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux5.0 is set up on VMware, although the ssh service is installed by default during installation, this allows me to log on to the file using Putty without entering the Virtual Machine in Windows. At the same time, I use UltraEdit to edit the files, but I always need to share some files, therefore, we need to install VMware tools.

In the lower-left corner of the Vm, the system prompts that VMware tools is not installed. Click Vm> install Vm tools on the Vm menu. However, you will find that no window is displayed even in the graphic interface, and you have not found any optical drive attached to VMware, at this time, you should check whether your RHEL5 installation disk (installation image) is still in it? Disconnect it or simply pop up from the VM.

Then, a window will pop up normally. You can find an rpm installation package and a tar compressed file. You can choose either of the two installation methods. Here we use a simple installation method, because it brings me problems ...... (-_-!)

Double-click the rpm file to install it. It looks similar to that in Windows. Well, you will be prompted what your software may be in danger due to unauthorized access and ask if you want to continue, windows is also similar here, and then continue ...... It will be installed normally ......

Now we should be able to share folders ...... However, you will find the fact that the lower-left corner of the VM prompts you that you have not Installed VMware tools!

So I re-installed it. Most of the problems found on the Internet were caused by the absence of gcc and kernel packages! But I want to do the development. It will be installed completely, and there is no error prompt during installation!

If the problem persists, follow the command to install the file. If you have installed the file in the system, find it.

(The following command is executed on a virtual machine. Do not run it on a logon terminal in Windows because the network is disconnected in the middle)

Cd/usr/bin

Ls find vmware-config-tools.pl

Execute./vmware-config-tools.pl

After entering the wizard, you will be prompted to add yes. If so, you will not be able to understand what it is. Then, let's select the resolution and select the appropriate one.

After a piece of configuration, you find that your mouse naturally enters and exits the VM! In the lower-right corner, the system prompts that VMware tools has been successfully installed.

The folder can also be shared.

Of course, we don't think there will be so many things if we use commands to execute them completely, so it seems that the linux configuration should be best done in shell, it is better not to trust the mouse (-_-!)

Attach the command installation method (here you can also run the rpm command to run the rpm file, which means similar, because it is the same as my process, so it is omitted ):

Cd/mnt

Cp VMwareTools-6.0.3-80004.tar.gz/tmp (here the file name may be different, is probably the same)

Cd/tmp

Tar zxf VMwareTools-6.0.3-80004.tar.gz

Cd vmware-tools-distrib

/Vmware-install.pl

Configuration is automatically required after this execution, so there is no problem ...... -_-!
