How to install vmware tools?
- by Tom
I installed my Ubuntu in vmware, no I need install vmware tools, I got error:
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not valid.
Would you like to change it?[yes]
In CentOS, I run the following command to resolve this issue:
yum install gcc-c++
yum install kernel-devel
yum install kernel-headers
yum -y update kernel
But I don't know how to do in Ubuntu. Please help.
Update
I have tried the following command but nothing changed,still got error:
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not valid.
Would you like to change it?[yes]
sudo apt-get update
sudo-get install build-essential linux-header-$(uname -r)
sudo ./vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
sudo ./vmware-config-tools.pl
sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Issue Changed:
Run sudo ./vmware-uninstall-tools.pl, and delete the folder of /etc/vmware-tools
then, run sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Now I can successfully install vmware-tool.After restart, I can see folder of /mnt/hgfs, but can't see my shared folder.
