How to install vmware in linux

For details about how to install vmware in linux-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information, see the following. As required by the project, we need to virtualize a Windows in Linux. After looking for some information, we found that we can use VMware to implement it. Of course, there are other virtual machines that can be used, such as Win4lin and bochs, however, after trial, only VMware is available. the installation steps are as follows.

First to the https://www.vmware.com/download the latest installation package, such as vmware-workstation-4.0.5-6030.tar.gz, suppose in "/tmp". Then use the following command to unzip and install.

1. tar? Zxvf VMware-workstation-4.0.5-6030.tar.gz

2. cd./vmware-distrib

3./vmware-install.pl

Select as prompted. If there are no special requirements, press Enter.

4. After installing and starting the VM, enter the command vmware at the prompt, or follow the prompts to start the VM. Then you can see the VMware interface.

If you use an rpm package for installation:

1, rpm-ivh VMware-workstation-4.0.5-6030.i386.rpm
Preparing... ######################################## ### [100%]
1: VMwareWorkstation ####################################### #### [100%]

2. Run the following command to start the installation: vmware &

3, prompt to configure the vmware-install.pl, carefully check the vmware-install.pl his location, and enter his folder, with the command./vmware-install.pl, configure, as prompted to do.

4. Run the "vmware" command to start the instance.

After starting, you can add your own virtual machine. The windows 2000 prwfessnal I added here sets the Virtual Machine CDROM to the optical drive, and then you can install the operating system from the disc.

Of course, there is a key step here, that is, to apply for a 30-day trial serial number on the VMware website, enter the registration number before opening the virtual machine, otherwise there is no way to Pow on.

OK. Now you can use it.
