This article shares with you a graphic tutorial on VMware Tools installation and configuration for your reference. The specific content is as follows

Because I couldn't enter full-screen mode when installing Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit under a virtual machine, I used another method to solve it, but I still wanted to install VMware Tools to prevent related problems in the future. Okay, let's get to the point.

1. You will see VMware Tools installed under the virtual machine, click Install.

2. Under the virtual machine device, VMware Tools appears. Click to open it. There is a VMwareTools-10.1.6-5214329.tar.gz file in it.

3. Copy this file to a directory, such as creating a new SetUp folder under home

4. Switch to root user

XXX@ubuntu:/$ sudo su
[sudo] password for XXX: 
root@ubuntu:/#

5. Unzip VMwareTools-10.1.6-5214329.tar.gz to the VMware-Tools folder

root@ubuntu:/home/XXX/SetUp# tar zxvf VMwareTools-10.1.6-5214329.tar.gz -C /home/XXX/SetUp/VMware-Tools

6. Enter the vmware-tools-distrib folder you just extracted as the root user, then enter the command: ./vmware-install.pl and press Enter.

root@ubuntu:/home/XXX/SetUp/VMware-Tools/vmware-tools-distrib# ./vmware-install.pl 

7. After the above operations, VMware Tools will be installed. Enter yes/no according to the prompts until Enjoy, – the VMware team appears as shown below, which means the installation is successful. Then manually restart the virtual machine.

8. Restart the system and you will find that VMware Tools has been reinstalled, indicating that the installation has been successful.
