2 挂载了VM虚拟机工具以后的Linux系统的界面
3 右键“VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz”文件，复制到桌面，并把该文件直接解压缩，得到“vmware-tools-distrib”文件夹。![]()
4 打开该文件夹，同时打开终端。
5 把文件“vmware-install.pl”所在的路径 /root/Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
输入终端中运行。（注意：以下操作需要在root用户下才能进行！不是root用户的请用su命令切换到root下。）
6 虚拟机工具安装中。
7 出现如下提示时，按回车键使程序继续运行。
