How can I install VMware in Ubuntu 13.10? VirtualBox crashes the whole time or doesn't want to work 100%.

I've tried the solution in How can I install VMWare Player on Ubuntu 12.10?, but I get errors in terminal when I try the commands.

VMware can me used in the same way as VirtualBox, right? I want to install a different OS inside Ubuntu using VMWare.

  • It would be better if you could post the exact errors you encounter when you try to install VMware Player. – jobin Jun 21 '14 at 13:39

  1. Download the bundle from here to your Downloads folder.

  2. Open up the terminal: Ctrl+Alt+T

  3. Enter the following commands:

    cd Downloads 
chmod +x VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle 
sudo ./VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle

  4. Follow the install GUI.

VMWare is not packaged, but you can find detailed install instructions in the Community Wiki. I suggest you start by installing VMWare Player and go on from there. If you have particular issues installing please post the error messages.

  • I've looked and tried the commands you suggested on the link, but struggle to install the program, it looks installed if looked at terminal. but I still don't have the program en the tools needed, also described in the link,to get all working. What else can I do? I do have the bundle that I downloaded from vmware's website. There a way to install it? – Orosjopie Nov 06 '13 at 11:06
