Install VMware Workstation under Ubuntu 14.04/14.10

VMware Workstation is a virtual software that can perform desktop operations. It allows us to run multiple virtual machines in a single computer or virtual machine.

Developed and maintained by VMware Corporation. Because it is commercial software, we need to buy their home license or use the 30-day trial version. Recently, VMware Workstation11 has a haircut. This release has changed greatly, and can only be installed on computers with 64-bit processors. Previous versions can be installed on 64-bit and 32-bit computers.

In this column we will discuss the installation process of VMware Workstation 11 in Ubuntu14.04 and 14.10, illustrated in detail.
