2
Click the Console tab to make sure that the guest operating system starts successfully, and log in if
necessary.
3
Right-click the virtual machine, select Guest, and select Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.
4
Select Interactive Tools Installation and click OK.
This step initiates the installation process by mounting the VMware Tools bundle on the guest operating
system.
5
In the virtual machine console, log in as root (
su -
) and, if necessary, create the
/mnt/cdrom
directory:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
6
Mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.
Some Linux distributions automatically mount CD-ROMs. If your distribution uses automounting, do not
use the
mount
and
umount
commands in this procedure.
Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the
/dev
directory differently. Modify
the following commands to reflect the conventions used by your distribution:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /tmp
7
Change to a working directory (for example,
/tmp
).
cd /tmp
8
If you have a previous installation, delete the previous
vmware-tools-distrib
directory.
rm -rf /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
The default location of this directory is:
/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
.
9
List the contents of the
/mnt/cdrom/
directory, and note the filename of the VMware Tools tar installer.
ls /mnt/cdrom
10 Uncompress the tar installer.
tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-4.0.0-<xxxxxx>.tar.gz
Where
<xxxxxx>
is the build/revision number of the ESX/ESXi 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.
11 Unmount the CD-ROM image:
umount /dev/cdrom
12 Run the VMware Tools tar installer.
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
For each configuration question, press Enter to accept the default value.
13 Log off the root account.
exit
What to do next
After you install or upgrade VMware Tools on a virtual machine, verify the status of VMware Tools by checking
the VMware Tools label on the virtual machine Summary tab. The VMware Tools label should display the
word OK.
