By default you cannot run it here.

However if you:

Shutdown the VM

Browse to the VM’s folder within VMWare’s Datastore Browser

Download the VM’s .vmx file

Open it with a text editor

add this to the bottom:
vhv.enable = “TRUE”

Save the file

Upload it back to the storage manager and overwrite the original .vmx

Power the VM back on, it will now work

DOCKER PYTHON PIP INSTALL REQUIREMENTS

Without interrupting your existing environment I did this by creating an anaconda environment and installing python packages through pip this way

Install and Start Anaconda
docker run -i -t -p 8888:8888 continuumio/miniconda3 /bin/bash -c “/opt/conda/bin/conda install jupyter -y –quiet && mkdir /opt/notebooks && /opt/conda/bin/jupyter notebook –notebook-dir=/opt/notebooks –ip=’*’ –port=8888 –no-browser –allow-root”

Open your browser
Navigate to http://YOURIP:8888

Click New

Click Terminal

When the terminal opens, enter your package / version this way to install it, replacing pandas and version with the one you are trying to install
pip install pandas==1.5.1

That’s it. You are now functional.

After downloading an application onto your iPad or your iPhone
From the device’s “Desktop”
Open the Settings App
Scroll down to the Application section where the recently installed application shows up
Click on the Application
Select Siri & Search from the menu on the Right
In this sub menu, deselect (Change from Green to Grey) each item
