VmwareTools for linux的安装

一、VMwareTools-版本号.rpm的图形模式的安装：
1.在Windows的vmware的窗口菜单中选vm（虚拟机）->install vmware tools（安装Vmware Tools）

2.挂载光驱目录mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom (vmtools的安装文件放在vmware虚拟的cdrom中，首先要mount上这个光驱才能找到安装文件)
3.打开/mnt/cdrom目录
4.找到VMwareTools-版本号.rpm包，双击选运行就好了
5.安装完成后在windows的vmware的窗口菜单中选vm（虚拟机）->Setting（设置）->Options（选项）
->Shared Folders（共享文件夹）->添加你要共享的Windows目录
6.重新启动，再进入RedHat就会在/mnt目录下自动生成/mnt/hgfs目录了
7.如果没有则在终端中输入
/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl

按照提示去操作就可以了.我的操作结果如下:

[root@localhost root]# /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl

The configuration of VMware Tools 6.0.0 build-44426 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.

To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start

To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart the CUPS service

If you wish to configure any experimental features, please run the following
command: "vmware-config-tools.pl --experimental".

Enjoy,

8.这时再看看是不是已经出来了

二、VMwareTools-版本号.tar.gz包的文本模式的安装：

第一步：进入系统后，点击虚拟机上的安装vmware tools，回到桌面回看到一个vmware tools的cdrom图标。

第二步：打开它，复制“vmwaretools....tar.gz”，打开文件系统，打开home文件夹，打开当前用户为名的文件夹，粘贴vmwaretools....tar.gz，同时解压此文件“到此处”。

第三步：在此文件夹空白处点击右键，点击属性，在点击窗口中的“权限”，把里面所有“文件夹访问”的内容改为“创建和删除文件”便可。

第四步：回到刚才目录，单击vmware-tools-distrib文件夹，然后打开终端

第五步：在命令行输入“ls”后将列出文件夹文件；接着输入“cd vmware-tools-distrib”指定到此文件夹，接着输入“ls”列出此文件夹内容，接着输入“sudo ./vmware-install.pl”，输入用户密码便可开始安装了。

第六步：接下来N多的enter，N多的YES，自己慢慢按吧。

第七步：直到你看到---the vmware team就可关闭窗口，然后重新启动

最后设置共享文件夹的方法：

.在windows的vmware的窗口菜单中选vm（虚拟机）->Setting（设置）->Options（选项）
->Shared Folders（共享文件夹）->添加你要共享的Windows目录，重启虚拟机，/mnt/hgfs/就是你共享的文件夹名
