Today, I will talk to you about how to install VMware tools in VMware. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

VMware tools provides great convenience for the use of VMware. So it is necessary to install VMware tools.

Due to the needs of the experiment, I need to install two operating systems under VMware (for Linux systems, using Ubuntu). After successfully installing the first one, I encountered a problem installing VMware tools for the second ubuntu, that is, I clicked: virtual machine-> installing VMware tools,CD/DVD will load VMware tools, but there are no files in it.

Search for some solutions on the Internet, such as setting-> CD/DVD, and select your own system image (selected) where you use the ISO image file. I have also tried to reinstall the system, but it is still not resolved.

Finally, after several twists and turns, a solution was found, as follows:

(1) find the linux.iso file in your virtual machine installation directory (if you can't find it, you can search directly)

(2) copy this file to the iso file directory where you installed the system.

(3) Click Settings-> CD/DVD (SATA), change the ISO image file you used to the linux.iso file you just copied (under the new folder you copied), and click OK.

(4) Click to install VMware tools again, and the VMware tools package and related files will appear.

The installation of VMware tools follows

(1) copy the compressed package in the folder in step 4 above to a file (optional, such as desktop), where I created a new folder (vmwaretools) under home, or directly right-click the compressed package-> extract (thus directly get the compressed vmware-tools-distrib file)

(2) if you do not choose to extract it directly, decompress it: tar xzf / (here is the location to which your package is copied, which can be viewed in the location in the right-click attribute of the package) / VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz (this is the name of the package)

Generated after decompression: vmware-tools-distrib

(3) Open the file in the terminal: cd /. (location here) / vmware-tools-distrib, execute the installation command: sudo. / vmware-install.pl

Then enter directly and yes will be fine.
