Silent install on a Linux host?

[rileyb76]

Is it possible to run a silent install on a Linux host - RHEL 6 64bit?  I would be installing Workstation 11.

I could not find any documentation for installing on a Linux host, but I did on for a Windows host.

Thanks

The simplest approach to silent install WS on Linux host is:

sudo sh VMware-Workstation-*.bundle --console --required --eulas-agreed

Currently we have no documentation about silent install commands on Linux. Please let me know your specific request about how you 'd like to install Workstation. I might be able to help.

Thanks for the reply.

As a SA for big group of RHEL users, I'm trying to automate as much as possible.  I would like to put together a couple of scripts that will silently install Workstation 10.0.5 (32bit) and Workstation 11 (64bit) on RHEL 6 (32/64bit) hosts, along with a lot more commands for our particular setup.

Where would the serial # need to go in your example?

That will be:

sudo sh VMware-Workstation*.bundle --console --required --eulas-agreed --set-setting vmware-workstation serialNumber XXXX-…

Please let me know if you have more request.
