This article introduces the relevant knowledge of "how to install VMware Tools in VMware Workstation 15 Pro". Many people will encounter such a dilemma in the operation of actual cases, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

Want to copy the files from the physical machine to the guest virtual machine in VMware Workstation, or vice versa? VMware provides two methods:

1) drag

2) shared folder

The best way to understand the drag method is to drag the files from the physical machine directly to the virtual machine, while the shared folder specifies a folder in the physical machine for sharing between the physical machine and the passenger plane. Both of these functions require us to install VMware Tools in the passenger plane. The installation process is as follows:

Step 1

Click the VMware Workstation menu "Virtual Machine-install VMware tools", and after installation, it will be displayed as "reinstall VMware tools", as shown above.

Step 2

A CD icon appears on the desktop of the virtual machine.

At this point, right-click on the desktop to open a Shell terminal and run the following command:

# cd# lsblk# ls / run/media/kiosk/ "VMwareTools" / / your display may be different manifest.txtVMwareTools-10.3.2-9925305.tar.gzvmware-tools-upgrader-64run_upgrader.shvmware-tools-upgrader-32# cp / run/media/kiosk/ "VMwareTools" / *. Tar.gz / root// copy the only package to the / root directory # tar VMwareTools-10.3.2-9925305.tar.gz# cd vmware-tools- Distrib/#. / vmware-install.pl// starts the installation process
