已经进入到了Linux学习之CentOS的第六篇随笔了，所以这里就介绍一下VMware-Tools的安装。

VMware-Tools的安装

VMware-Tools 主要的功能就是让用户在虚拟机和真实系统之间实现无缝切换，这个功能很方便。当然VMware-Tools最主要是实现linux和windows的文件共享。在上一篇随笔中已经写到，在虚拟机的Linux系统中，如果需要将windows上的一些文件上传至Linux系统中，通常有三种方法，①安装VMware-Tools②将文件制作成ISO文件，然后挂载到Linux系统上③通过共享文件夹的方式(这个需要先安装VMware-Tools，否则无法实现)。若虚拟机中安装的是windows操作系统，安装就非常简单，直接双击点击安装即可。如图：

直接选择上方的VM -> Install VMware Tools(因为虚拟机启动了CentOS，并且已经安装好了VMware Tools，所以图片显示的可能和你们安装时不一样)

在Linux系统中，当启动完Linux系统以后，VM虚拟机的下方会弹出一个提醒框，提示用户是否需要在虚拟的Linux系统上安装VMware-Tools。此时我们可以选择OK，如果没有出现提示，则按照上图提示，自己手动选择安装即可。

此时，我们会发现Linux的桌面上加载了一个虚拟的光驱，打开以后里面就是我们需要安装的VMware-Tools版本软件，我的是(VMwareTools-8.4.6-385536.tar.gz)通过cp命令将该文件复制到/home目录下，然后输入一下命令：

[root@qdy ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # 加载光驱
[root@qdy ~]# cd /mnt/cdrom #进入光驱
[root@qdy cdrom]# ll

[root@qdy cdrom]# cp VMwareTools-8.6.0-425873.tar.gz /home/xiaoming #复制文件至 home/xiaoming 目录下
[root@qdy cdrom]#

[root@xiaoluo /]# tar -zxvf /home/VMwareTools-8.4.6-385536.tar.gz#解压到当前目录
// 这个命令就是linux系统的解压缩命令，大部分软件在linux系统中是以.tar.gz、.bin、.rpm结尾的，对以.tar.gz格式文件我们只需用tar -zxvf命令对其解压即可

解压以后我们可以在 /home 目录下面发现一个文件夹 vmware-tools-distrib ，这个就是我们通过以上那个命令解压以后的文件夹。

[root@xiaoluo /]# cd /home/vmware-tools-distrib/// 进入到刚解压的VMware-Tools文件夹下
[root@xiaoluo vmware-tools-distrib]# ls -l

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 3月 31 21:20 vmware-install.pl -> ./bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl// 我们需要执行的文件

然后我们输入：

[root@xiaoluo vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl // 安装vm-tools (在linux系统中，【./】命令就是安装、执行软件)

这样我们就进入到了vm-tools安装界面，此时界面会出现一大堆的文件安装代码，我们只需要一直按着 enter 键即可。

下面的选项就按照默认值。一直回车就可以：In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
