Example:
file VMware-Horizon-Agent-Linux-*.bundle # Output example: POSIX shell script executable (binary data) | Horizon Version | Linux Agent Version | Supported Distro Examples | |----------------|---------------------|------------------------------------------| | 8.10 (2406) | 8.10 | RHEL 9.4, Ubuntu 22.04, Rocky 9.4 | | 8.8 (2312) | 8.8 | RHEL 9.2, Ubuntu 20.04, SLES 15 SP5 | | 7.13 | 7.13 | RHEL 7.9, Ubuntu 18.04 |
Always check the official for exact minor version support. 7. Post-Download: Quick Installation Reference After downloading, make the bundle executable and run it:
wget --user=your_email@domain.com --ask-password \ "https://download3.vmware.com/software/.../VMware-Horizon-Agent-Linux-8.10-22012234.bundle" Not recommended for automation due to short-lived tokens. For scripted or offline environments, use the VMware Product Download Tool (Linux-based Python utility) – it can authenticate and fetch the bundle. 4.3 My VMware Portal API (for enterprises) VMware’s Content Library API can be used with proper OAuth2 tokens for large-scale deployments. 5. Verification of Downloaded File Always verify integrity to avoid corruption. 5.1 Checksums VMware provides .checksum or .sha256 files on the same download page.
sha256sum VMware-Horizon-Agent-Linux-8.10-22012234.bundle Compare output with the published hash. The file should be a large executable shell script (>300 MB typically).
