How To Install VMWare Tools v4 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server and 12.10 Server

Had to install the ESXi Client on a new VM today I used the instruction from THIS site.

The steps are as follows:

On the Vmware client menu select Inventory, Virtual Machine, Guest, Install / Upgrade Vmware Tools.
Update the server:
 # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
Create a mount point
 # mkdir /media/cdrom
mount the ISO:
# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
If you get an error about /dev/cdrom doesn't exist try the following:
# mount /dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom
Change Directory:
# cd /media/cdrom
Copy the tar file to /tmp:
# cp VM*.tar.gz /tmp
Change Directory:
# cd /tmp
Unmount the ISO:
 # umount /media/cdrom
Extract the tar:
# tar xzvf VM*.tar.gz
Change Directory:
# cd vmware-tools-distrib
Run the Install Script with the -d switch to install the defaults:
# ./vmware-install.pl -d
Reboot the Server:
# reboot
