Installing VMware Tools in Kali
If open-vm-tools does not work for you, or if you preffer using native VMWare tools, begin by installing some packages that are required by the VMware Tools installer:
echo cups enabled >> /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
echo vmware-tools enabled >> /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/
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, we mount the drive and copy the VMware Tools installer to /tmp/.
mkdir /mnt/vmware
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/vmware/
cp -rf /mnt/vmware/VMwareTools* /tmp/
Finally, change directory to /tmp/, extract the tarball and start the installer:
cd /tmp/
tar zxpf VMwareTools-<tools version>.tar.gz
cd vmware-tools-distrib/
./vmware-tools-install
