Each virtual machine owns an isolated operating system environment, including Windows, Linux, BSD variants, and uses a small portion of your system processor and memory. First, download VMware Workstation Pro using the web browser. Then, go to the Downloads directory and make the VMware installer executable. On EFI secure boot systems, you need to sign VMware modules vmmon and vmnet before loading them in the kernel. So, to sign the modules, you will need to have a machine owner key that is trusted by EFI firmware.

Then, import the generated key to the system. This command will prompt you to set the password, which you will later while enrolling the key. Then, change the ownership of the script and run it. You can run this script whenever you update the system.

If the key is OK, press enter and then select Continue. Choose Yes to enroll the key s and then enter the password you supplied during the import.
