Unable to build with VMWare Player on Linux #1102
Description
I tried create a base vmware-iso image. Installed VMWare Player (not Workstation) on Linux Mint.
Verified it is installed correctly, I can open it without any issues.
However, when I try to run my "vmware-iso" provisioner I get
Build 'vmware-iso' errored: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any driver for this platform. The errors
from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver
to continue:
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* Critical application 'vmrun' not found in path.
==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> vmware-iso: Failed creating VMware driver: Unable to initialize any driver for this platform. The errors
from each driver are shown below. Please fix at least one driver
to continue:
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* exec: "vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
* Critical application 'vmrun' not found in path.
==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.
According to the docs, just VMWare Player is supported on Linux, but I do not have any of these applications on the $PATH, only "vmplayer" is present.
