New Kali versions

Type the following command: 

   apt-get update
   apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop fuse
   reboot

If this install is failed , you need to istall linux-headers.

apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Old Kali versions:

install vmware-tool patche

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

Mount the VMware tools ISO by clicking “Install VMware Tools”

copy the installer to the downloads directory and then run the installer script :

Example:

   cd ~/vmware-tools-patches
   cp /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz downloads/
 ./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh

Change VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz with your current version

  • Thank you. I tried it without apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r). It works without it too, why do i need it? – Black Feb 19 '16 at 11:01
