+description: "Install VMWare on Linux"
+tags: ["VMWare", "Virtualization", "Tools", "Linux"]
+---
+### Intro
+
+I understand that many of you newcomers to **Linux** from **Windows** soemtimes prefer to use **VMWare** coz that's what you are used to. Although I would highly recommend **Virt-Manager** as it's Kernel based. But for you who prefer VMWare follow the guide below..
+
+<p align="center">

+</p>
+
+### The Guide
+
+All packages compile from the **AUR**, but if you are on **XeroLinux** or have the **Chaotic-AUR** repos they will simply just install, no compilation needed.
+
+- Grab the packages
+
+```Bash
+paru/yay -S vmware-workstation vmware-unlocker-bin vmware-keymaps
+```
+
+- Activate Networking & other services :
+
+```Bash
+sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon
+sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-networks.service
+sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-usbarbitrator.service
+```
+
+Finally there's the matter of the Linux Guest OS, to set the correct resolution, it has to come with certain packages but in any case I will show you how to install them and enable..
+
+To enable the service just run :
+
+```Bash
+sudo systemctl enable --now vmtoolsd
+```
+
+### Issues
+
+If resolution does not get fixed and you are stuck at low, then you might need to install the necessary packages... Below is what you need for the various Distros out there... Reboot then run the above command...
+
+- Video Drivers
+
+```Bash
+sudo pacman -S xf86-video-vmware open-vm-tools
+```
+
+Yet another tool to add to the arsenal...
