After installing Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with vmware, the vmware tools tool option is grayed out, installation is not allowed and file sharing cannot be performed
Solution:
1 Find the linux.iso file in the wmware installation directory
2 Use the CD mount method to mount to the vmware installation environment, this process is similar to the process of installing Ubuntu 16.04
3 You will see a CD displayed as Vmware Tools inside the virtual machine
4 Open, put the VMware-tools*.tar.gz inside to "Download"
5 Unzip tar zxvf VMware-tools * .tar.gz
6 sudo ./vmware-install.pl in the decompressed folder
7 Select the default, and press Enter all the way to complete the installation
8 At this point, file sharing between Ubuntu and Windows can be achieved (it becomes a small white hand)
