Linux下安装vmware

首先大家要下载5.5.3版for linux 的包，如图所示，因为版本低的会出现找不到内核问题。

然后将该包解压缩。（我将该包全部文件解压到桌面上的vmware-distrib目录中）进入终端窗口后，输入cd /root/Deskjiaohuan/'>top/vmware-distrib 并回车，现在终端提示符变更为

[root@localhost vmware-distrib]# ，输入 ./vmware-install.pl 并回车出现以下提示：

Creating a new installer database using tar3 format.

Installing the content of the package.

In which directory do you want to install the binary files?

[/usr/bin]

这个选项是问你是否想要把二进制可执行文件放入默认的／usr／bin 文件夹中，回车后出现以下提示：

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?

[/etc/rc.d]

回车后出现：

What is the directory that contains the init scripts?

[/etc/rc.d/init.d]

回车后出现：

In which directory do you want to install the library files?

[/usr/lib/vmware]

回车后出现：

The path "/usr/lib/vmware" does not exist currently. This program is going to

create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?

[yes]

输入y 后并回车，系统自动建立相关文件夹并复制相关文件，需要等一会，可以看见光标闪呀闪，然后会出现：

In which directory do you want to install the manual files?

[/usr/share/man]

回车后出现：

In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?

[/usr/share/doc/vmware]

回车后出现：

The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware" does not exist currently. This program is going

to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?

[yes]

输入y 并回车后出现：

The installation of VMware Workstation 5.5.3 build-34685 for Linux completed

successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time

by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl".

Before running VMware Workstation for the first time, you need to configure it

by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this

program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

第一段的意思是告诉用户将来可以用/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl 命令来卸载该软件

第二段的意思是在该虚拟机第一次运行前必须对它用/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl 这个命令进行配置，你现在是否执行？当然了，回车，然后会出现下面的提示：

Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

Stopping VMware services:

Virtual machine monitor [确定]

You must read and accept the End User License Agreement to continue.Press enter

to display it.

最后一段话是让用户阅读并接受该软件的授权许可，按回车键显示，你也可以按住回车键不放，会发现屏幕在飞快地向上滚动，同时最下面的一行会有一个百分比数字在增加，全部显示完毕后会出现：

Do you accept? (yes/no)

这里必须输入y，然后出现以下提示：

Thank you.

Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?

[/usr/share/icons]

回车后出现：

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have

a .desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]

回车后出现：

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?

[/usr/share/pixmaps]

回车后出现：

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for

yourrunning kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for

your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

输入y 并回车后出现：

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running

kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include]

回车后出现：

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.

Do you want networking for your virtual machines? (yes/no/help) [yes]

最后一行是问你是否需要虚拟机能够运行网络，当然选是，输入y 并回车出现：

Configuring a bridged network for vmnet0.

Your computer has multiple ethernet network interfaces available: eth0, eth1.

Which one do you want to bridge to vmnet0? [eth0]

这里是让你配置真实网卡与虚拟网卡桥接的，注意，第二段可能每个人的机器显示会不一样，如果机器上只有一块网卡就没有选择的余地了，因为我家里的台式机有 两块网卡，eth1 是连接ADSL宽带用的，eth0是与笔记本电脑进行双机互联用的，所以我选eth0，请大家根据自己的实际情况配置，输入eth0 后回车出现：

The following bridged networks have been defined:

. vmnet0 is bridged to eth0

Do you wish to configure another bridged network? (yes/no) [no]

你是否需要配置另一个桥接网络，这里默认的选项是no，回车后出现：

Do you want to be able to use NAT networking in your virtual machines? (yes/no)

[yes]

回车后出现：

Configuring a NAT network for vmnet8.

Do you want this program to probe for an unused private subnet? (yes/no/help)

[yes]

Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time)...

Either your host is not connected to an IP network, or its network

configuration does not specify a default IP route. Consequently, the subnet

172.16.40.0/255.255.255.0 appears to be unused.

This system appears to have a DHCP server configured for normal use. Beware

that you should teach it how not to interfere with VMware Workstation's DHCP

server. There are two ways to do this:

1) Modify the file /etc/dhcpd.conf to add something like:

subnet 172.16.40.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# Note: No range is given, vmnet-dhcpd will deal with this subnet.

}

2) Start your DHCP server with an explicit list of network interfaces to deal

with (leaving out vmnet8). e.g.:

dhcpd eth0

Consult the dhcpd(8) and dhcpd.conf(5) manual pages for details.

Hit enter to continue.

按一下回车键并出现：

Do you wish to configure another NAT network? (yes/no) [no]

回车后出现：

Do you want to be able to use host-only networking in your virtual machines?

[yes]

回车后出现：

Configuring a host-only network for vmnet1.

Do you want this program to probe for an unused private subnet? (yes/no/help)

[yes]

回车后出现：

Consult the dhcpd(8) and dhcpd.conf(5) manual pages for details.

Hit enter to continue.

回车，系统在进行相关配置后出现：

Do you wish to configure another host-only network? (yes/no) [no]

回车后出现：

到此VMware虚拟机完毕，自动返回到终端提示符状态下，输入exit退出终端。现在你可以在菜单中的系统工具中找到VmwareWorkstation 图标，单击一下就可以运行了，第一次运行会出现下图：

点击Accept按钮后出现就可以进入虚拟机工作窗口了。其实，该虚拟机软件的安装还是非常人性化，大家对照英文提示一步一步操作即可，基本选默认就行。
