How to install VMware-Tools on Linux

Introduction

Since it was necessary to use a different method for installing VMware-Tools, make a note of that method as a memorandum.

Premise

--OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 --VMware-Tools is downloaded from the VMware official website --The target software is VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz

File download

From VMware official website (https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VMTOOLS1010&productId=614) Download VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz.

Upload downloaded file

Upload the file to / tmp using TeraTerm or scp.

Execution command


scp VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz [User name]@[IP address]:/tmp

Use the ls command to check the execution result.

Check result


ls /tmp
VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz

Unzip the file

Unzip the uploaded file

Execution command


cd /tmp
tar zxvf VMware-Tools-10.1.0-core-4449150.tar.gz

Use the ls command to check the execution result. The vmtools directory is created.

Check result


ls /tmp
vmtools

Mount iso

Mount linux.iso in the created directory.

Execution command


mount /tmp/vmtools/linux.iso /mnt

Unzip the file

Unzip VMwareTools-10.1.0-4449150.tar.gz in linux.iso. If you already have this file, the above procedure is not necessary and you can unzip this file in an appropriate directory.

Execution command


mkdir /tmp/work
cp /mnt/VMwareTools-10.1.0-4449150.tar.gz /tmp/work
cd /tmp/work
tar zxvf VMwareTools-10.1.0-4449150.tar.gz

Use the ls command to check the execution result. The vmware-tools-distrib directory is created.

Check result


ls /tmp/work
vmware-tools-distrib/

Run the installer

I finally came to a familiar sight. Execute the perl script of the installer.

Execution command


cd /tmp/work/vmware-tools-distrib/
./vmware-install.pl

If the following error message is output at this point, perl is not installed, so perl is installed.

Error message


-bash: ./vmware-install.pl: /usr/bin/perl:Wrong interpreter:There is no such file or directory

Install perl.

install perl


yum install perl 

Run the installer again.

Execution command


./vmware-install.pl

You will be asked for the settings in a wizard format, but please set them as you like. Finally, when the message Enjoy appears, the installation is complete.
