Install VMware Tools on Linux

Some prerequisite before starting.

1) VMware workstation installed on host.
2) Virtual machine already created and a flavour of Linux had been installed.
3) Kernel-headers already installed to your current kernel that you are using. If not, just do a

yum install kernel-headers

Power on virtual machine. VM -> Install Vmware Tools

Open terminal,

cp /media/VMware\ Tools/VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz /root/
tar xzvf /root/VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz
cd /root/vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

Installation will begin to ask many questions but you can just hit Enter to accept all defaults.
When installation finishes, vmware services will be started.

When you do a CLTR+ALT to release the controls from the virtual machine, VMware workstation will indicate VMware Tools installed successfully at the status bar.

If you do not see your screen resolution changed to the one you indicated, simply do a restart of the virtual machine.

Done.
