對於 Linux 虛擬機，您可以使用命令行工具手動安裝或升級 VMware Tools。
本次Linux 虛擬機為CentOS6.5
先決條件
開啟虛擬機。
確認客戶機操作系統正在運行。
由於 VMware Tools 安裝程序是使用 Perl 編寫的，因此，請確認在客戶機操作系統中安裝了 Perl。
安裝VMware Tools的目的
VMware Tools是VMware虛擬機中自帶的一種增強工具，相當於VirtualBox中的增強功能（Sun VirtualBox Guest Additions），是VMware提供的增強虛擬顯卡和硬盤性能、以及同步虛擬機與主機時鍾的驅動程序。
只有在VMware虛擬機中安裝好了VMware Tools，才能實現主機與虛擬機之間的文件共享，同時可支持自由拖拽的功能，鼠標也可在虛擬機與主機之前自由移動（不用再按ctrl+alt），且虛擬機屏幕也可實現全屏化。
步驟
1、在主機上，從 Workstation Pro 菜單欄中選擇虛擬機 > 安裝 VMware Tools。
如果安裝了早期版本的 VMware Tools，則菜單項是更新 VMware Tools。
2、在虛擬機中，以 root 身份登錄到客戶機操作系統並打開終端窗口。
3、不帶參數運行 mount 命令以確定 Linux 發行版是否自動裝載 VMware Tools 虛擬 CD-ROM 映像。
如果裝載了 CD-ROM 設備，將按以下方式列出 CD-ROM 設備及其裝載點：
/dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev)
到此步驟時，我遇到了一個問題，糾結了好久：
就是我通過mount /dev/sr0 /mnt 命令掛載光驅（即把CentOS CDROM掛載在/mnt目錄中，就可以訪問被里面的內容了），可是我在mnt目錄下卻看不到東西。
這是什么原因呢？
原來是因為我掛載的/nmt分區已經掛載，所以才會出現上述情況！！！
解決方法：先umount /mnt 卸載掉 然后 mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
附注：下圖紅框中的提示是正常的.無需解決.
/dev/sr0寫保護，以只讀方式掛載。
mount命令默認以讀寫方式掛載一個設備，而光盤是只讀的，所以在掛載光盤這個塊設備時會出現上述從讀寫方式切換為以只讀方式掛載光盤的提示。如果不想看到這個提示，就請在mount命令后面添加參數，指定以只讀方式來掛載設備。
接下來的步驟：
4、轉到工作目錄，例如 /tmp/
5、解壓縮安裝程序。
tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyy.tar.gz
x.x.x 值是產品版本號，yyyy 是產品版本的內部版本號。
如果嘗試安裝 tar 安裝以覆蓋 RPM 安裝或相反，安裝程序將檢測以前的安裝並且必須轉換安裝程序數據庫格式，然后才能繼續操作。
6、會發現目錄下多了個文件夾vmware-tools-distrib，里面有一個vmware-install.pl文件
7、使用./vmware-install.pl來執行文件
