VMWare Player is my favourite virtualization software. I use it to test a lot of Linux Distributions, on both Windows and Linux. In this article I will show you what you have to do for a successful installation, but I will not guide you for the Next -> Next -> Finish steps. Lets start installing VMWare player on Ubuntu 13.04. 1. Install the needed dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

2. Download VMWare Player from the official site. 3. Add execution permissions on the VMWare downloaded file:

Tags
bash bash trick bash tricks
caffeine centos cinnamon

$ cd ~/Downloads $ chmod +x VMware-Player-*.bundle

debian debian sid

debian squeeze

debian wheezy
4. Execute VMWare-Player and continue the installation from the Graphical User Interface:
desktop environment

fedora

fedora 17 fedora 18
fedora 19 FreeBSD

games on linux gnome kde

$ sudo ./VMware-Player-*.bundle kernel Knoppix libreoffice

This is everything. Enjoy.
