Linux安装VMware ToolBox

wheat

　　首先，解压安装介质：

• [root@RHEL ~]# cd /software/  
  
• [root@RHEL software]# ls  
  
• VMwareTools-9.2.0-799703.tar.gz  
  
• [root@RHEL software]#   
  
• [root@RHEL software]# tar -xf VMwareTools-9.2.0-799703.tar.gz   
  
• [root@RHEL software]# ls

• [root@RHEL software]# cd vmware-tools-distrib/  
  
• [root@RHEL vmware-tools-distrib]# ls  
  
• bin  doc  etc  FILES  INSTALL  installer  lib  vmware-install.pl  
  
• [root@RHEL vmware-tools-distrib]#   
  
• [root@RHEL vmware-tools-distrib]#
  

　　运行其中的Perl脚本：vmware-install.pl，就开始了安装：

　　这样就装完了。
　　系统中会多出一些以“vmware-”为前缀的命令：

• [root@RHEL vmware-tools-distrib]# vmware-  
  
• vmware-checkvm             vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
