To install VMware Tools on a Suse Linux virtual machine, you will need to follow these steps:
Start the virtual machine and log in.
Open a terminal window and switch to the root user:
sudo su -
Mount the VMware Tools ISO file that was provided with the virtual machine. You can do this by clicking on the "Install VMware Tools" option in the VMware Tools menu in the virtual machine's menu bar, or by manually mounting the ISO file using the mount
command.
Change to the mount point of the ISO file. For example, if the ISO file was mounted to /mnt
, you would run the following command:
cd /mnt
tar xzvf VMwareTools*.tar.gz
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
reboot
That's it! VMware Tools should now be installed on your Suse Linux virtual machine.
