Vmware Tools工具安装
背景：需要使用vmware安装oracle数据库，但linux机由于没有安装vmware tools 无法跟主机共享文件，粘贴板。
说明：本教程以vmware 12为基础提供安装vmware tools的步骤，对应linux系统版本为Redhat 6.5.
Vmware Tools工具安装
----点击虚拟机顶部工具栏选择虚拟机--安装VMware Tools
----完成步骤1后，桌面上会生成一个vmware tools的dvd光盘,选中光盘单击右键--在终端中打开
----输入ls命令查看文件列表，使用命令tar -xzvf VMwareTools-10.0.6-3595377.tar.gz -C /opt 解压压缩包文件到/opt目录下
----进入解压后生成的vmware-tools-distrib
cd /opt/vmware-tools-distrib
----运行vmware-install.pl安装，进入安装后不断点回车，直至安装完成。运行命令如下
./vmware-install.pl
ps:详细安装过程如下：
[root@oraserver VMware Tools]# ls
