$ /Library/Application Support/VMware Tools/vmware-tools-daemon --cmd “info-get guestinfo.name” No value found

`chmod +x $HOME/stage0.sh` - Run Automator. - Create a new Application. - Add a "run shell script" item with the command: `open -a Terminal.app $HOME/stage0.sh` - Save it to the desktop as "run-builder".

(You don't want to log in to your account on the machine, so don't use the App Store.) - Extract it and move the resulting Xcode folder to Applications - run xcode-select: `sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app` - run `xcodebuild -version` and wait for Xcode to be verified, which will take a long time. - accept the license: `sudo xcodebuild -license accept` - install the command line tools: `sudo xcode-select --install` - run xcode-select: `sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools` Put a builder key in the usual spot.
