CentOS how to install VMWare tools?

Mount the iso image on the VMWare guest running the CentOS partition.
The iso file can be found C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\linux.iso if you are running VMWare Server instance.

Login with VMWare Server Console to CentOS and mount the cdrom
  • mkdir /mnt/cdrom 
  • mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom 
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
Mount will link the cdrom to the  /mnt/cdrom directory.  Now you can copy the rpm file to /tmp and start the installation process.
  • cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-1.0.2-39867.i386.rpm /tmp
  • cd /tmp
  • rpm -i /tmp/VMwareTools-1.0.2-39867.i386.rpm
After the file has been installed start the vmware tools perl script
  • vmware-config-tools.pl
