Using VMware to install virtual machines on Linux systems

First download the appropriate version on the VMware official website www.vmware.com

My side is vmware-workstation-full-12.5.0-4352439.x86_64.bundle.

Upload to a Linux system.

1. Close the firewall directly

Systemctl Stop Firewalld.service #停止firewall

Systemctl Disable Firewalld.service #禁止firewall开机启动

2. Turn off SELinux

View SELinux Status

Use the command/usr/sbin/sestatus–v or Getenforce

Temporary shutdown Setenforce 0

Permanently close the Modify/etc/selinux/config file to change selinux=enforcing to selinux=disabled and then restart the machine

3. Install dependent packages

Yum-y Install perl gcc kernel-devel libX11 Libxinerama libxcursor libxtst

4. See if the system kernel version is the same as required (not required, but if inconsistencies cause installation errors)

Yum install kernel-headers-$ (uname-r) kernel-devel-$ (uname-r) –y

5, Installation Vmvare

Grant the file permission to execute first

chmod 777 Vmware-workstation-full-12.5.0-4352439.x86_64.bundle

./vmware-workstation-full-12.5.0-4352439.x86_64.bundle--console--eulas-agreed--required-s VMware-Workstation SerialNumber Fz1tu-2zy5k-481qq-p4xgz-wk2ua

VMware command line meaning:

--console #以命令行模式安装, the default is GUI mode.

--eulas-agreed #自动同意安装协议, if not used, you need to press Q and yes.

The--required is #显示安装协议后 and installed automatically.

-S Vmware-workstation serialnumber #输入vmware序列号

The serial number can be generated from the VMware serial number generator.

After the installation is successful, you can use the KDE desktop to open VMware directly or via the local VMware remote connection on the Windows system, here is the remote connection method
