Linux下安装VMwareTools

linux下安装VMtools

2009-06-07 10:58

1.在VM菜单中选择：VM－Installs VMwaretools

2. VMware会自动加载一个虚拟光盘，然后打开后里面会有两个文件，其中的vmware-tools-distrib.tar.gz，这就是VMware Tools的Linux安装包。在终端下进入这个文件夹，用“cp /vmware-tools-distrib.tar.gz /tmp”命令即可。

3.接下来应该解压缩vmware-tools-distrib.tar.gz文件。首先进入自己的tmp目录，用“cd /tmp”命令，然后用“tar xzf vmware-tools-distrib.tar.gz”命令将其解压缩，把它释放到同名目录下（即vmware-tools-distrib目录）。 PS：你也可以在图形界面下用鼠标操作步骤2和3，会更直观些。

3. 自己用户名的帐号默认下是没有权限安装VMtools的，要用“su root”切换到root帐号。

4. 然后用“cd vmware-tools-distrib”进入解压后的目录，用“ls”命令显示其下的内容，从中可以看到vmware-install.pl是VMware Tools的安装程序。

5.最后用“./vmware-install.pl”命令来运行该安装程序，然后根据屏幕提示一路回车。到此整个安装过程算是完成了。

6.最后在终端中会显示please choose one of the following display size，然后是一排选项，从640*480到2364*1773 共十几个分辨率的选项，键入你要的分辨率前的数字，然后回车就可以。

具体的可以参考如下：

[root@rd01 ~]# mount /cdrom

# 有时可能加载不了，这时就要先将系统关闭，再手动指定 ISO 映像，看下图

[root@rd01 ~]# cd /cdrom

[root@rd01 ~]# ls -a

[root@rd01 ~]# cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp

[root@rd01 ~]# cd /tmp

[root@rd01 ~]# tar zxpf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz

[root@rd01 ~]# cd vmware-tools-distrib

[root@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl

如果出现recomanded NO 的话，就输入yes.
