Vmware Workstation 9.0 中爲 CentOS 6.3 安裝 VMware Tools
| 本文測試環境爲 Windows Vista 下安裝的 Vmware Workstation 6.0，guest OS爲 CentOS 5.3 1. 打開Vmware Workstation，運行 CentOS 5.3，待CentOS 5.3啓動完成，登錄系統。成功登錄系統後，在Vmware的菜單中找到 VM -> Install Vmware Tools，這樣，Vmware就會把Vmware Tools的映像以cdrom的形式掛載至 Guest OS中（CentOS 6.3） 2. 在 CentOS 5.3中打開終端，使用su命令獲得 root 權限，執行下面的命令以掛載虛擬cd驅動器，掛載點這裏使用 /mnt/ 目錄 mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/ 複製代碼 3. 掛載成功成，可以在 /mnt/ 目錄中瀏覽Vmware Tools 安裝包，一般包括兩個：一個是rpm包，加一個是tar.gz格式的壓縮包。我們使用下面的命令解壓其中的.tar.gz文件 tar -C /tmp -zxvf /mnt/VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz 複製代碼 4. 把VMware Tools的安裝文件解壓至 /tmp 目錄後，我們就不需要VMware爲CentOS準備的虛擬光盤了，卸載此虛擬盤 umount /mnt 複製代碼 5. 進入 /tmp 目錄中的 VMware Tools 的安裝包目錄即可安裝了 cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib ./vmware-install.pl 複製代碼 6. 當問到是否要運行 vmware-config-tools.pl的時候，選擇 yes 就可以了，安裝過程中，可以有多個目錄設置需要交互，默認值就可以了。不過，最後有一步是讓選擇 屏幕分辨率的，我這裏選擇了 800 x 600，這個自然是因人而異嘍。 |

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
