Fedora 9上安装VMware Server (Version 1.0.6)[图文](2)

To install VMware Server, open a terminal (Applications > System Tools > Terminal) and become root:

su

Then go to the location where you saved the VMware Server .tar.gz file, e.g. /home/falko/Download (replace falko with your own username!):

cd /home/falko/Download

Unpack the VMware Server .tar.gz file and run the installer:

tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz
cd vmware-server-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl

The installer will ask you a lot of questions. You can always accept the default values simply by hitting <ENTER>.

When it asks you:

[/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines]

... you can either accept the default value or specify a location that has enough free space to store your virtual machines.

Type XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX or 'Enter' to cancel:

Fill in your serial number for VMware Server.

After the successful installation, you can delete the VMware Server download file and the installation directory:

cd /home/falko/Download
rm -f VMware-server*
rm -fr vmware-server-distrib/

You will now find VMware Server under Applications > System Tools > VMware Server Console:

When you start it, select Local host:

 

Afterwards, you can create virtual machines (or import your virtual Windows machine that you created with VMware Converter):
