由於項目需要,要在Linux下虛擬一個Windows,經過查找些資料,發現可一用VMware來實現，以下就是安裝的步驟.
首先到https://www.vmware.com/ 下載最新的安裝包,比如VMware-server-1.0.5-80187.tar.gz,這個是免費版本，使用下面的命令解壓後安裝.
1、tar -zxvf VMware-server-1.0.5-80187.tar.gz
2、cd ./vmware-distrib
3、./vmware-install.pl
下面按照提示選擇就可以了,如果沒有特殊要求,直接回車即可.
4、安裝完啓動VM,提示符下輸入命令:vmware,或者按照提示輸入就可以起動,就可以看到VMware的界面了.
開始爲Linux 服務器安裝Vmware Server
安裝程序會提問一些問題，並同時給出缺省的答案。
1. 切換到超級用戶權限
$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost root]# cd vmware-server-distrib
2. 開始安裝
#./vmware-install.pl
3. 選擇二進制文件安裝路徑
# Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format.
Installing the content of the package.
In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]
What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d to rc6.d)?
[/etc/rc.d] #選擇初始化目錄安裝路徑
What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/rc.d/init.d] #選擇初始化腳本文件安裝路徑
In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/sbin]
In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware]
4. 選擇相關文件安裝路徑
#The path “/usr/lib/vmware” does not exist currently. This program is going to
create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes]
In which directory do you want to install the manual files?
[/usr/share/man] #選擇操作手冊頁面文件安裝路徑
In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware] #選擇文檔文件安裝路徑
5. 安裝結束
#The path “/usr/share/doc/vmware” does not exist currently. This program is going
to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes]
The main install is now complete and you should see something similar to what follows:
The installation of VMware Server <build number> for Linux competed successfully.
You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking thefollowing command: “/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl”. #安裝結束
6. 啓動vmware 配置
# Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: “/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl”. Do you want this
program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]
此時系統會自動關閉現有的Vmware服務守護進程，如圖 8 。
