原创 Red hat 9.0 Linux下安装VMware Tools

Red hat 9.0 Linux下安装VMware Tools

 在虚拟机上安装完系统后，在状态栏中一直提醒你安装VMware Tools.只有正确安装了VMware Tools后，该提示才会消失，并正确设置显卡以及显示器的分辨率等参数。好处：可以支持图形界面，可以支持共享文件功能等。

步骤：
1、先启动虚拟机，进入Linux系统
       点击菜单栏上的“虚拟机”，然后“安装VMwre Tools”，这时虚拟机中系统的光驱里就会有VMware Tools的碟片（加载了Linux.iso镜像）。在vmware的菜单中选择Vm->install vmware-tools，这个时候好象vmware就会把安转文件映射到你的cdrom
   

此时要进入终端，使用命令行进行安装。

2、右键新建终端即可。此时屏幕上会出现一个白色窗口，里面为命令行操作，这就是终端窗口，我们需要使用Linux的基本命令来对VMware Tools进行安装。

3、在终端窗口输入sudo passwd root（sudo命令可以使普通用户以根用户的身分执行指令）
  回车后系统会提示输入当前用户密码，然后就是设置root用户密码，设置OK后会有提示
  然后输入su命令获得根用户的命令和文件使用权限（命令exit或者按Ctrl+D可退出）
4、输入ls，屏幕会列出光驱里的文件。

5、接着mount一下光驱
    #mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt

6、将安装文件拷到自己的目录
   #cp /mnt/VMwareTools-5.5.0-18463.tar.gz  /tmp   （tmp是系统自带的一个文件夹）

   #ls    （观察有没有tar.gz的文件，记住文件名）

7、解压缩一下
  #tar zxvf VMwareTools-5.5.0-18463.tar.gz（根据自己情况输入上一步显示的tar.gz的实际文件名）

8、卸载CDROM

  #umount /dev/cdrom
  不然运行安装后会出现：
 unable to create the directory /mnt/hgfs（本人就是被这个问题困扰了两天，那叫一个无语。。。）

9、然后进入解压后的目录vmware-tools-distrib，进行安装

#cd /tmp      回车

#cd vmware-tools-distrib   回车

#./vmware-install.pl  回车

10、安装过程的画面，全部使用默认值，一直按 Enter 就对了
