  • Within your VMWare Infrastructure Client or WebGUI do a “Install VMWare Tools”
  • VMWare will provide a ISO Image with the VMWare Tools to the Virtual Machine
  • SSH to the Ubuntu Server you want the VMWare Tools be installed
  • OPTIONAL but prefered: 
    sudo su -
aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade
  • do the following steps as root or prefix a sudo: 
    aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
mount /dev/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom0/
cp VMwareTools-2.0.0-122956.tar.gz /usr/src/
cd /usr/src/
tar xfzv VMwareTools-2.0.0-122956.tar.gz
cd vmware-tools-distrib/
./vmware-install.pl
