Issues installing VMware Player on macOS

Question

I am running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and I am trying to install VMware Player, but when I run the command

chmod a+x VMware-Player-14.1.2-8497320.x86_64.bundle

and

sudo ./VMware-Player-14.1.2-8497320.x86_64.bundle

I get

stat: illegal option -- -
usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]

Not sure what to do, because I don't know any other way to turn this file into an executable to get it onto my computer.

Answer 1

This script does not work because VMware Player is not available for macOS. The script you're using has probably been written for Linux.

If you want to create VMware virtual machines on macOS, you can use VMware Fusion .
