- INSTALLING/UPGRADING
-
- To install/upgrade VMware for Linux, run the program "vmware-install.pl".
- You must have super user privileges (i.e. be logged as root) to run it.
-
- ./vmware-install.pl
-
- If you are installing VMware for the first time, you can hit the <enter> key
- each time you are prompted to select the factory default answer. By default,
- the installation program installs:
- the executables in /usr/bin,
- the manual pages in /usr/man,
- the library files in /usr/lib/vmware,
- and the documentation files in /usr/doc/vmware.
-
- If you have previously installed VMware, you can hit the <enter> key each
- time you are prompted to keep your previous answer, or you can decide to
- submit a new answer.
-
- Once the installation/upgrade is complete, you can safely remove the
- vmware-distrib directory from your system.
-
- CONFIGURING
-
- In order to run correctly, VMware must first be configured.
-
- To configure VMware, run the program "vmware-config.pl" (this is
- automatically done for you at the end of the installation/upgrade
- process if you answer "yes" to the last question)
-
- vmware-config.pl
-
- This will teach VMware how to run on your current Linux kernel.
- If you reboot your machine with a new kernel that VMware doesn't know yet
- (because, let's say, you have upgraded your Linux system), you will have
- to run this configuration program again. Then, VMware will know this new
- kernel once for all.

-
- UNINSTALLING
-
- To remove an existing installation, run
-
- vmware-uninstall.pl
-
- The uninstall process will delete all installed files, and will backup the
- files that have been modified since they have been installed.
