A simple Google search will hit you up with many results on how to achieve this. Installation of VMware Workstation Playerīefore actually installing the VMware Workstation Player, you need to enable virtualization in your bios. You can install any Linux distribution with the same method. Here I will be showing you how to install any Linux distribution in a VMware player with an example of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS version. With the help of a virtual machine, you can use your host system and guest system (the one in a virtual machine) simultaneously. The biggest reason that you’d want to install a Linux Distribution in a virtual machine is that you do not need to reboot your host operating system to be able to use Linux, which is the case in both Live Boot and Dual Boot. The best way to test the Linux based distribution without out-right installing it on your hard drive as dual boot system is to install it in a virtual machine, be it Virtual Box (by Oracle) or VMware Workstation (either Pro version or a Player, by VMware).
