VMware installation on Ubuntu

prerequisite

    $ sudo apt update 

    $ sudo  apt-get upgrade

    $ sudo apt install gcc build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

download VMware Workstation 15.5 Pro

(https://www.vmware.com/in/products/workstation-pro/workstation-pro-evaluation.html)

Run command in terminal commands in downloaded folder :

    $ sudo chmod +x VMware-Workstation-*.bundle

    $ sudo ./VMware-Workstation-*.bundle

If you get error : unable to install all modules see log ...

First confirm your VMware version by command

    $ vmware -v 

Replace abcd with vmware version : wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-ab.c.d.tar.gz E.g. for me (version 15.5.1)

    $ wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-15.5.1.tar.gz
    
    $ tar  -xzf workstation-*.tar.gz                             (replace * with vmware version)  
    
    $ cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-*/
    
    $ Make
    
    $ sudo make install

To uninstall VMware

    $ sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation
