1	On the host, from the Workstation menu bar, select VM > Install VMware Tools.

If an earlier version of VMware Tools is installed, the menu item is Update VMware Tools.

2	In the virtual machine, log in to the guest operating system as root and open a terminal window.

3	If the distribution does not automatically mount CD-ROMs, mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.

For example, type mount /cdrom.

4	Change to a working directory, for example, /tmp.

cd /tmp

5	Untar the VMware Tools tar file.

tar zxpf /cdrom/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz

6	If the distribution does not use automounting, unmount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.

umount /cdrom

7	Run the installer and configure VMware Tools.

cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

Usually, the vmware-config-tools.pl configuration file runs after the installer file finishes running.

8	Follow the prompts to accept the default values, if appropriate for your configuration.

9	Follow the instructions at the end of the script.

Depending on the features you use, these instructions can include restarting the X session, restarting networking, logging in again, and starting the VMware User process. You can alternatively reboot the guest operating system to accomplish all these tasks.

What to do next

If a new virtual hardware version is available for the virtual machine, upgrade the virtual hardware.
