Vmware Workstation 9.0 中为 CentOS 6.3 安装 VMware Tools
| 本文测试环境为 Windows Vista 下安装的 Vmware Workstation 6.0，guest OS为 CentOS 5.3 1. 打开Vmware Workstation，运行 CentOS 5.3，待CentOS 5.3启动完成，登录系统。成功登录系统后，在Vmware的菜单中找到 VM -> Install Vmware Tools，这样，Vmware就会把Vmware Tools的映像以cdrom的形式挂载至 Guest OS中（CentOS 6.3） 2. 在 CentOS 5.3中打开终端，使用su命令获得 root 权限，执行下面的命令以挂载虚拟cd驱动器，挂载点这里使用 /mnt/ 目录 mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/ 复制代码 3. 挂载成功成，可以在 /mnt/ 目录中浏览Vmware Tools 安装包，一般包括两个：一个是rpm包，加一个是tar.gz格式的压缩包。我们使用下面的命令解压其中的.tar.gz文件 tar -C /tmp -zxvf /mnt/VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz 复制代码 4. 把VMware Tools的安装文件解压至 /tmp 目录后，我们就不需要VMware为CentOS准备的虚拟光盘了，卸载此虚拟盘 umount /mnt 复制代码 5. 进入 /tmp 目录中的 VMware Tools 的安装包目录即可安装了 cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib ./vmware-install.pl 复制代码 6. 当问到是否要运行 vmware-config-tools.pl的时候，选择 yes 就可以了，安装过程中，可以有多个目录设置需要交互，默认值就可以了。不过，最后有一步是让选择 屏幕分辨率的，我这里选择了 800 x 600，这个自然是因人而异喽。 |
.执行vmware-install.pl安装VMWare Tools：./vmware-install.pl

because I had already installed the VMware tools, to practice for this tutorial, I get the message that VMware tools are already installed.
somewhere the installation will ask you the following question:
In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
type an absolute path when typing the answer like “/usr/bin/vmware”
type Y when it tells you ” the path”/usr/bin/vmware” does not exist currently. this program is going to create it. including needed parent directories. is this what you want?
this is part of the log of the installation I went through:
What is the directory that contains the init scripts? [/etc]
The file /etc/vmware-tools that this program was about to install already
exists. Overwrite? [yes] n
In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/bin/sbin] /usr/sbin
In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/bin/lib/vmware-tools] /usr/lib/vmware
The path “/usr/lib/vmware” does not exist currently. This program is going to
create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes] y
In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/bin/doc/vmware-tools] /usr/share/doc/vmware
The path “/usr/share/doc/vmware” does not exist currently. This program is
going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes] y
The installation of VMware Tools 2.0.0 build-122956 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: “/usr/bin/vmware/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl”
at this point, I will need to reboot the computer
