.bundle - how do I install

[banditti]

I am trying to install a program that gives me .rpm option and a .bundle option. I tried alien on the .rpm, no luck.

what the heck is a .bundle and what do I do with it?

[banditti]

did a chmod +x and did a ./ and it worked.

[smnirven]

Let me guess, you were trying to install vmware?

[darco]

did a chmod +x and did a ./ and it worked.

Dont forget to send yourself a "thanks"!

Thanks a lot. You people saved my day. And yes. I am trying to install vmware player.

I was googling what the hell a .bundle is, and incidentally, I too am installing vmware player.:D Thanks!

did a chmod +x and did a ./ and it worked.

What is a "./"?

[punong_bisyonaryo]

What is a "./"?

It specifies that the file you want to run is in the current directory. Otherwise, it'll look for it in the path such as /usr/bin, etc.

did a chmod +x and did a ./ and it worked.

Awesome! Thanks!

Talk to me like i'm 5 years old.
I want to install .bundle too, but i just installed ubuntu for the first time so i don't know much can u tell what exactly i have to fill in.

Trying one of those:
VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64.bundle
VMware-Player-2.5.2-156735.i386.bundle

I already tried the first one with alien out of .rpm what i got out of the .rpm is a .bundle

NEVERMIND figured out here's how:


sudo sh '/home/(username like /jacky)/Desktop/VMware-Player-2.5.2-156735.i386.bundle'



sudo sh '/home/(username like /jacky)/Desktop/VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64.bundle

It's easier to just insert sudo sh and grab ur file and drag into the terminal and enter it.

It's maybe easy for some u guys but some poeple like me didn't knew this

And that's what i spend my whole free day on

[punong_bisyonaryo]

Congratulations! You're on your way.:D

Thanks, did the trick!

Let this be a lesson for people.
When in doubt for what to do with a file...
execute it in terminal.

Works with almost any file I'm unfamiliar with.

Just wanted to add my thanks to this as well, very useful, especially finding out i can drag a file into terminal, i wasn't aware of that :)

[tanoloco]

Just adding my thanks too!

According to your suggestions I did:


sudo chmod +x
sudo sh
both times dragging the .bundle file directly into terminal
and it worked perfectly!

Great trick!

[spezticle]

Thanks for this thread!


cd /"path to downloaded .bundle file"
sh ./file.bundle


worked perfectly :)
