I have downloaded the VMware Player for Linux 64-bit from its official site and details:

  • Binary Details.bundle Installation file for 64-bit Linux
  • Build Number: 744570
  • Release Date: 2012-06-13
  • CHECKSUMSMD5SUM: d0715a06775c0f92b9d23e031e4af1c6
  • SHA1SUM: 5033c1bfecb309b96399410e614c41452c49e8e8

Now the problem is how do I install it.

I read the tutorial and to install I had to run the following commands:

chmod +x ./VMware-Player-3.1.6-744570.x86_64.bundle

but I am getting following errors

rishabh@rishabh-Lenovo-G580:~$ chmod +x ./VMware-Player-3.1.6-744570.x86_64.bundle
chmod: cannot access ‘./VMware-Player-3.1.6-744570.x86_64.bundle’: No such file or directory
rishabh@rishabh-Lenovo-G580:~$

so now what to do to install as I downloaded and the file is in .bundle format. I don't know what to do as I had only one command to install it and I guess I am mistaking in x86_64 in the command, if its not the correct syntax then please help me.

if you could help me then please help me now as i am stuck in : VMware Kernel Module UPdater....... it gives an error as unable to build kernel module See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-3916.log for details. – NApaLM 99 10 hours ago

  • use ./VMware-Player-3.1.6-744570.x86_64.bundle – Ashu_FalcoN Feb 03 '15 at 09:13
  • Make sure you are typing filename correctly and your present working directory in terminal is same as where your download file is. If you are still getting error post the output of ls. – g_p Feb 03 '15 at 09:30

Right click to .bundle file >> properties >> permission. and select "all to execute program"

open terminal terminal go to folder you have vmware file. considering in download folder

eg. cd Downloads

now type :- sudo ./VMware-Player-3.1.6-744570.x86_64.bundle
