Working with VMware Workstation Support

Zend Studio allows you to integrate with VMware Workstation so that you can easily execute your project on a virtual machine. Working with a virtual machine allows you to develop your code on one operating system and execute it on a different one, all while working on one machine.  

Prerequisites

The following components must be installed prior to the integration:

• Zend Studio 9.0 or above

• Installed VMware Workstation Support plugin.

• VMware Workstation 7.x or above, available for download at http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/

• A configured virtual machine.
  The Zend Server image can be downloaded at http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/downloads. See Importing the ZendServer.zip Image File into VMware Workstation to learn how to import the downloaded image, or see Setting Up a Custom Virtual Machine to learn how to create your own.
