The vSphere client can be reached at https://servername:9443/vsphere-client/

If you are looking for a installable client for Linux, it does not exist for Linux as stated in the below KB from VMWare, in fact at the top of the resolution section it says the below statement:

Resolution

The vSphere Client is only available for Windows systems and it is not available for Linux systems.

Availability of the vSphere Client for Linux systems (1006095) | VMware KB

I hope this helps

You can use Web Client. Or if you're connecting to hosts directly, the HTML5 client.

C# client is no longer supported starting from the next vSphere 6 release. So you may start looking at the alternatives.
