what is ext of file? if it is .deb, you can install by double-click on it. Or if it is a .tar.gz file then you have to compile it and then install. Simplest way to install any package is apt-get install <pkg-name> – Netro Dec 24 '12 at 5:24
its in tar.gz file and i want to know how to compile, install and configure VMware server 2.0.2 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS – linuxman Dec 24 '12 at 18:45
Generally there is README file in pkg which has detailed steps to install. If you don't have it, google the steps to install. You can consider using virtualbox or kvm instead of vmware server – Netro Dec 25 '12 at 5:05
