This is a quick How to Install VMware Workstation 9 on Linux Ubuntu is a relatively straight forward task. However as I am not a Linux expert (I much prefer Windows and not ashamed to admit it), I had to do a very tiny amount of head scratching. So it doesn’t happen again I have wrote this article for my own reference.
The following steps are how I installed Workstation on Ubuntu
- Download the installer from VMware’s website. The build number I downloaded was 1031769
- Once downloaded open a terminal session and navigate to the location of the installation bundle.
- Run the command:
sudo chmod +x VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.2-1031769.x86_64.bundle
This sets the permissions on the installation file to be executable. (This was the step that caused me to scratch my head for a few minutes.) - Run the command:
sudo ./VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.2-1031769.x86_64.bundle
- Follow the on screen installation wizard
- Installation is complete
Thanks………..
Very clean steps. Thank you very much.
