There is no VMware Player for macOS. The only option is to use VMware Fusion 11.x. You can install a trial copy of the VMware Fusion for 30 days to go through the exercises. So, let's begin:
- Download VMware Fusion 11.x from https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/fusion-evaluation.html.
You may have a preference for Oracle VirtualBox, and you can use it instead of VMware Fusion. We have not tested the VM on VirtualBox.
- Install VMware Fusion on your macOS.
- After the installation of VMware Fusion, set the network address translation (NAT) vmnet subnet so that the VM can access the internet.
It's time to set your network address. To do this, follow along in the next section.
