how to install vmware workstation 7.0 under linux?

Hi,

I realised that I have VMwareTools-8.1.4.tar.gz, not rpm.

Assusing my current folder is tmp

What is the command line to unzip VMWareTools for linux?

and then type ./VMWare-config-tools.pl to install as usual?

Thanks kindly in advance

Hi

To extract a gzipped tarball, use:

tar zxvf VMwareTools-8.1.4.tar.gz

To install:

cd vmware-distrib (or vmware-tools-distrib -- i forget :))
./vmware-install.pl

iirc the installer asks if you want to run the configuration utility
