install VMware
For Linux virtual machines, you manually install or upgrade VMware Tools by using the command line.Before you begin
[*]Power on the virtual machine.
[*]Verify that the guest operating system is running.
[*]Because the VMware Tools installer is written in Perl, verify that Perl is installed in the guest operating system.
Procedure
[*] On the host, from the Workstation Pro menu bar, select VM > Install VMware Tools.
If an earlier version of VMware Tools is installed, the menu item is Update VMware Tools.
[*] In the virtual machine, log in to the guest operating system as root and open a terminal window.
[*] Run the mount command with no arguments to determine whether your Linux distribution automatically mounted the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.
If the CD-ROM device is mounted, the CD-ROM device and its mount point are listed as something like this:
/dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev)
[*] If the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image is not mounted, mount the CD-ROM drive.
[*] If a mount point directory does not already exist, create it.
mkdir /mnt/cdromSome Linux distributions use different mount point names. For example, on some distributions the mount point is /media/VMware Tools rather than /mnt/cdrom. Modify the command to reflect the conventions that your distribution uses.
[*] Mount the CD-ROM drive.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdromSome Linux distributions use different device names or organize the /dev directory differently. If your CD-ROM drive is not /dev/cdrom or if the mount point for a CD-ROM is not /mnt/cdrom, modify the command to reflect the conventions that your distribution uses.
[*] Change to a working directory, for example, /tmp.
cd /tmp
[*] Delete any previous vmware-tools-distrib directory before you install VMware Tools.
The location of this directory depends on where you placed it during the previous installation. Often this directory is placed in /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib.
[*] List the contents of the mount point directory and note the filename of the VMware Tools tar installer.
lsmount-point
[*] Uncompress the installer.
tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyy.tar.gzThe value x.x.x is the product version number, and yyyy is the build number of the product release.
If you attempt to install a tar installation over an RPM installation, or the reverse, the installer detects the previous installation and must convert the installer database format before continuing.
[*] If necessary, unmount the CD-ROM image.
umount /dev/cdromIf your Linux distribution automatically mounted the CD-ROM, you do not need to unmount the image.
[*] Run the installer and configure VMware Tools.
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.plUsually, the vmware-config-tools.pl configuration file runs after the installer file finishes running.
[*] Follow the prompts to accept the default values, if appropriate for your configuration.
[*] Follow the instructions at the end of the script.
Depending on the features you use, these instructions can include restarting the X session, restarting networking, logging in again, and starting the VMware User process. You can alternatively reboot the guest operating system to accomplish all these tasks.
当出现GCC报错时，可以选择NO，在保证虚拟机能正常联网的状态下使用命令 yum install gcc-c++ 安装GCC。
13 卸载 VMware-tools
如需卸载VMware Tools，输入“/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl”即可。
如尝试输入“/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl”仍无法卸载，则输入“rpm -e open-vm-tools-desktop”卸载并重新安装。
