Problem on installing VMware

English Applications
1

I tried to install VMWare in konsole with user -root-. Here are what I
have done:

chmod +x VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.x86_64.bundle
./VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.x86_64.bundle-

After the second command was executed, error -bash:
./VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.x86_64.bundle: Permission denied-
prompted.

Can anybody tell me why?? I am quite new to linux.

Btw, I can successfully install the software with the command
-sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.x86_64.bundle-

Hi
You need a period before the backslash to execute;


../<name_of_file>

It should do, if you make it executable first with the chmod
command ./ will work, if you don’t use the chmod, use sh.

It’s also dependent on the whole shebang (#!/…) entry at the
beginning of the script.

For example it may be a perl script (generally indicated by
<filename>.pl) so it would be perl <filename>.pl or python
<filename>.py so in that case it would be python <filename>.py etc

If you don’t know what it’s using, just chmod it and you should be good
to go.
