已經進入到了Linux學習之CentOS的第六篇隨筆了，在這一篇隨筆里將總結一下在CentOS下常用的開發環境搭建，因為是學java的，所以這里就介紹一下VMware-Tools的安裝。
VMware-Tools的安裝
VMware-Tools 主要的功能就是讓用戶在虛擬機和真實系統之間實現無縫切換，這個功能很方便。當然VMware-Tools最主要是實現linux和windows的文件共享。在上一篇隨筆中已經寫到，在虛擬機的Linux系統中，如果需要將windows上的一些文件上傳至Linux系統中，通常有三種方法，①安裝VMware-Tools②將文件制作成ISO文件，然后掛載到Linux系統上③通過共享文件夾的方式(這個需要先安裝VMware-Tools，否則無法實現)。若虛擬機中安裝的是windows操作系統，安裝就非常簡單，直接雙擊點擊安裝即可。如圖：
直接選擇上方的VM -> Install VMware Tools(因為虛擬機啟動了CentOS，並且已經安裝好了VMware Tools，所以圖片顯示的可能和你們安裝時不一樣)
在Linux系統中，當啟動完Linux系統以后，VM虛擬機的下方會彈出一個提醒框，提示用戶是否需要在虛擬的Linux系統上安裝VMware-Tools。此時我們可以選擇OK，如果沒有出現提示，則按照上圖提示，自己手動選擇安裝即可。
此時，我們會發現Linux的桌面上加載了一個虛擬的光驅，打開以后里面就是我們需要安裝的VMware-Tools版本軟件，我的是(VMwareTools-8.4.6-385536.tar.gz)通過cp命令將該文件復制到/home目錄下，然后輸入一下命令：
[root@xiaoluo /]# tar -zxvf /home/VMwareTools-8.4.6-385536.tar.gz
// 這個命令就是linux系統的解壓縮命令，大部分軟件在linux系統中是以.tar.gz、.bin、.rpm結尾的，對以.tar.gz格式文件我們只需用tar -zxvf命令對其解壓即可
解壓以后我們可以在 /home 目錄下面發現一個文件夾 vmware-tools-distrib ，這個就是我們通過以上那個命令解壓以后的文件夾。
[root@xiaoluo /]# cd /home/vmware-tools-distrib/ // 進入到剛解壓的VMware-Tools文件夾下 [root@xiaoluo vmware-tools-distrib]# ls -l 總用量 568 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 3月 26 2011 bin drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 3月 26 2011 doc drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 3月 26 2011 etc -r--r--r--. 1 root root 557757 3月 26 2011 FILES lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 3月 31 21:20 INSTALL -> ./doc/INSTALL drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 3月 26 2011 installer drwxr-xr-x. 17 root root 4096 3月 26 2011 lib lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 3月 31 21:20 vmware-install.pl -> ./bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl // 我們需要執行的文件
然后我們輸入：
[root@xiaoluo vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl // 安裝vm-tools (在linux系統中，【./】命令就是安裝、執行軟件)
這樣我們就進入到了vm-tools安裝界面，此時界面會出現一大堆的文件安裝代碼，我們只需要一直按着 enter 鍵即可。

最后，VMware-Tools安裝成功了，咱們重啟一下Linux系統，會發現VMware-Tools已經安裝成功了，此時不但可以直接在windows界面將需要的文件或者文件夾直接復制到虛擬機的Linux系統中，而且可以通過文件共享來與windows系統建立無縫銜接：
至此，在Linux系統上安裝VMware-Tools就成功告一段落了！！！！！
