Installing VMware Tools in Kali Linux Rolling

install open-vm-tools in Kali, first make sure you are fully updated, and then enter the following:

apt update && apt -y full-upgrade

# Reboot now in case you have updated to a new kernel. Once rebooted:
apt -y --reinstall install open-vm-tools-desktop fuse
reboot

Adding Support for Shared Folders

Unfortunately, shared folders will not work out of the box. To enable this feature for your current session, you will need to execute the following script after logging in:

enable-shared-folders

cat <<EOF > /usr/local/sbin/mount-shared-folders
#!/bin/sh
vmware-hgfsclient | while read folder; do
  vmwpath="/mnt/hgfs/\${folder}"
  echo "[i] Mounting \${folder}   (\${vmwpath})"
  sudo mkdir -p "\${vmwpath}"
  sudo umount -f "\${vmwpath}" 2>/dev/null
  sudo vmhgfs-fuse -o allow_other -o auto_unmount ".host:/\${folder}" "\${vmwpath}"
done
sleep 2s
EOF
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/mount-shared-folders
