7.
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

[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
