# VMWare Workstation
|
||||||
|
## Install
|
||||||
|
Tested on Debian 13 Trixie
|
||||||
|
Note: As of writing this (March 2026), the install script fails if it does not detect systemd.
|
||||||
|
Most Linux distributions use systemd, but if yours doesn't you will not be able to install it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
VMWare Workstation requires the kernel headers and `pkexec` to be installed, the exact packages required may depend on your distribution, but here are some common ones:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
sudo apt install linux-headers-generic pkexec
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Fedora: (pkexec is apart of the `polkit` package, which should be installed)
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
sudo dnf install kernel-headers
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Arch-based: (pkexec is apart of the `polkit` package, which should be installed)
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Download
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As normal you download from https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/downloads
|
||||||
|
Just be certain you download the Linux version, it should be a .bundle file (eg. `VMware-Workstation-Full-25H2u1-25219725.x86_64.bundle`)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assuming it was downloaded into `~/Downloads/` and adjust the file name here if it is a later version.
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
chmod +x ~/Downloads/VMware-Workstation-Full-25H2u1-25219725.x86_64.bundle
|
||||||
|
sudo ~/Downloads/VMware-Workstation-Full-25H2u1-25219725.x86_64.bundle
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Run VMWare Workstation and follow the prompts to install the needed kernel modules and accept the EULA
