I've installed open-vm-tools in CentOS 7, but how can I mount shared folder?

There's no vmhgfs-fuse command, and mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/ shows an error unknown file system vmhgfs

Any ideas?

CentOS 7.2 includes a 3.10 kernel, and open-vm-tools 9.10. A 4.x kernel and open-vm-tools version 10 are required to use the FUSE support provided by open-vm-tools. As a result, it is still necessary to install the traditional tar format VMware Tools to add the vmhgfs driver to enable shared folder support. This should be done alongside the existing open-vm-tools installation.
