Installing open-vm-tools
This is probably the easiest way to get “VMware tools” functionality inside a Kali VMware guest.
apt-get install open-vm-toolbox
Installing VMware Tools in Kali
The latest version of vmware-tools at this date compiles against our kernel, albeit with several warnings. We utilise a set of vmware-tool patches to facilitate the installation.
cd ~
apt-get install git gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git
cd vmware-tools-patches
apt-get install git gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git
cd vmware-tools-patches
Next, mount the VMware tools ISO by clicking “Install VMware Tools” from the appropriate menu. Once the VMware Tools ISO has been attached to the virtual machine, copy the installer to the downloads directory and then run the installer script :
cd ~/vmware-tools-patches
cp /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz downloads/
./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh
cp /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz downloads/
./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh
