How to install VMWare Server 2.0 on CentOS 5.2
Posted by Martin Perron on Jan 28, 2009 in HowTo - Linux • No commentsThis how to was test on CentOS 5.2 64 bits.
First of all, you need to register to vmware:
https://www.vmware.com/freedownload/login.php?product=server20
You will now receive an email with all the path to download and your serial number.
Download the Linux .tar.gz version for x86_64 bits. (VMware-server-2.0.0-122956.x86_64.tar.gz)
You can’t download it with wget… The path is related with your connection to the website.
When your file is on your server
tar -xvzf VMware-server-2.0.0-122956.x86_64.tar.gz
cd vmware-server-distrib/
Install it by default! You need to accept the licence and put your serial number…
You can also change the vmware image path folder:
./vmware-install.pl
…
…
$ /etc/init.d/vmware status
