VMware Linux环境下安装VMware Tools

一、前言

有时候需要在Linux环境下进行开发，会通过安装虚拟机的方式使用Linux。如果不安装VMtool，虚拟机分辨率不方便设置，并且不能和宿主机之间进行复制粘贴，安装VMtool后虚拟机分辨率会自动随窗口大小变化，也可以直接右键进行复制粘贴。比如窗口是这样的：

二、软件环境

Vmware Workstation 12，Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop

三、流程

1、 在菜单的虚拟机菜单项下选择重新安装VMware Tools

2、 这时候虚拟机的光驱中会插入VMware Tools的安装光盘，将光盘中的文件复制出来解压，然后执行文件夹中的vmware-install.pl脚本文件，一直按回车下一步就可以安装完成。安装完成后重启，虚拟机的分辨率就可以随窗口大小自动变化了，也可以跟物理机直接进行复制粘贴操作。具体安装过程命令行贴在下面。
