In this lecture, we will keep continue to set up our environment by installing guest additions on virtual
machines, guest additions allows you to drag and drop files between host and virtual machine
use shared clipboard, and it allows you to use your virtual machine in full screen mode
From my past experiences, I know it can be a little bit tricky, so I will show it step by step,
for VMWARE click the virtual machine tab and under the virtual machine menu click to install the vmware tools
button in case you don't see this menu.
Basically click everywhere until you find the true menu and click to install VMware Tools button.
click install
wait a few seconds.
And simply run the setup.exe
Click the next button a few times.
And you are ready after completing the installation, reboot your computer.
For the Ubuntu, it's a little bit more tricky.
Under the virtual machine menu click to Install Vmware Tools button in case it's grayed out like this, close your
virtual machine.
And from the top menu Connect CD and DVD drive, in case it's already connected, disconnect it
and open up your virtual machine again.
Now you can click to install vmware tools or reinstall vmware tools button.
Open the vmware tools dvd
And move the tar file to your desktop.
Open your terminal and go to your desktop.
Extract the contents of tar file.
And go to the extracted folder.
And lastly, run the installation perl script with super user privileges.
Press the enter key bunch of times
After completing the installation, reboot your Ubuntu machine and you are ready to go and for
Virtual box users, pretty much the same procedures are exist, open up your virtual machine and under the device menu,
click the guest additions button and follow the same procedures.
That's it.
Please make sure you have completed all of the installations before moving into the next lecture.
That's it for this lecture.
See you in the next one.
