Installing vmware tools inside Arch

I installed the most basic version of Arch Linux as guest OS using VMware on windows without Xorg. I followed the guide mentioned on this page to install vmware tools, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _in_VMWare

but could not figure out how to make copy paste (to and fro from windows) work and make arch linux console full screen when I maximize the VMware window. It seems that this wiki is not updated as the chinese version of this page says something else; https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … %E6%96%87)

Someone please help me out. I want to make the above two things work and also using shared folders with windows without installing any desktop environment.

When I followed Chinese version of that page, I was stuck at "pacman -S hwd" as it says no package with that name exists. It also asks to install Xorg in the end.



Thanks
