Vmware Server can be downloaded from:
http://www.vmware.com/download/server/
After accepting the EULA grab the vmware server .tgz file (around 102MB).
Note: As of right now VMware Server won't compile correctly on Feisty without patching the vmmon file.
Patch information can be found here: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=76957&tstart=0
The patch can be downloaded here: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update109.tar.gz
Untar the VMware Server package:
tar -xzf /Path/To/VMware-server-1.0.3-xxx.tar.gz
Change into the install directory:
cd vmware-server-distrib
Run the installer:
sudo vmware-install.pl
Choose defaults to questions until it asks:
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]
Enter no and quit the install. To install the patch cd back to your start directory:
cd ..
Untar the patch:
tar xvzf /Path/To/vmware-any-any-update109.tar.gz
Enter the directory:
cd vmware-any-any-update109
Run the patch script:
sudo ./runme.pl
It should prompt you to run vmware-config.pl, choose yes at this time. If it doesn't you can always run the config script manually:
sudo vmware-config.pl
Again you can hit enter to choose the defaults to all the questions, though you will probably want to manually choose which networking features you want. To access the server run
vmware
for the VMware Server Console.
