Ubuntu安装虚拟机工具（VMware Tool）详解

在VMware下安装Ubuntu，那么必须安装VMware-tools，才能获得更好的体验，包括屏幕分辨率、声音、和windows共享剪贴板等等。

1、点击VMware菜单的-VM-Install VMware Tools

这时，在Ubuntu下会自动加载Linux版的VMware Tools的安装光盘镜像。你会看到虚拟机的桌面上出现了一个名为VMware Tools的光盘图标，并且被自动打开。

其中包括VMwareTools-xxx-i386.rpm和VMwareTools- xxx.tar.gz两个文件。

如果你双击那个 rpm 文件，会提示说不支持的软件包，因为 rpm 是为 RedHat 准备的安装包，我们需要的是 .tar.gz 那个。

2、把 .tar.gz 文件拷贝而到桌面，右键菜单-解压缩到此处。会自动解压为一个 vmware-tools-distrib 目录。

打开终端(系统的应用程序菜单-附件-终端)

3、然后在终端里面执行以下命令行：

$ cd Desktop(要是中文的就是 $ cd 桌面)

$ cd vmware-tools-distrib

$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl

4、回车之后提示输入管理员密码，然后一路确认回车后(相当于在Windows里安装软件时所填答的诸多对话框，我们这里均采用缺省设置)，直到最后出现“Enjoy——the VMware team”的字样后，VMwareTools终于安装完成了。

过程如下：
