Linux系统管理之安装VMWareTools

1.安装工具。让虚拟机运行于窗口状态，不要全屏，按Ctrl+Alt让鼠标释放出来。在VMware的菜单栏上选择"虚拟机/安装虚拟机工具(VM/Install VMware Tools...)"。然后切换到客户操作系统，即Linux。



2.挂载光盘。
#mkdir /mnt/cdrom

　　# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

3.执行命令。进入虚拟光盘，可以看到有两个文件，一个是压缩包，一个为rpm包。直接运行rpm包安装，命令行也可。rpm -Uvh VMwareTools-版本号-版本号.i386.rpm

　　# cd /mnt/cdrom

　　# ls -l

　　有两上文件 ：

　　VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm

　　VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz

　　并把这两个文件拷贝到你的文件下 如 /tmp

　　#cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp

　　#cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm /tmp

　　#cd /tmp

　　#rpm -ivh VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm

　　4.上述操作完成后，进入/usr/bin目录，查找vmware-config-tools.pl.找到后，运行它。

　　5.一路回车

　　6.

　　#tar -xzvf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz

　　#cd vmware-tools-distrib

　　#./vmware-install.pl
