How do I install VMware Player (from a .bundle file)?

Question

I downloaded VMware Player 5.0.1, it comes in a file with .bundle extension. How do I install it?

Solution 1

Open a terminal, cd to the directory where the file is and type

sudo sh *filename*.bundle

Solution 2

You can alternatively give execute privileges to the .bundle file. The execute it with root privileges.

chmod u+x filename.bundle
sudo ./filename.bundle
