unable to run vmware-toolbox after installing open-vm-tools

I followed wiki to install the open vmware tools and start the service.

pacman -S open-vm-tools
/etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start

But I can't start vmware toolbox using

vmware-toolbox

Actually I cannot find this command in where it is supposed to be [/usr/lib]. Can someone help me look into this? Thanks!
