How can I install VMware in Ubuntu 13.10? VirtualBox crashes the whole time or doesn't want to work 100%.

I've tried the solution in How can I install VMWare Player on Ubuntu 12.10?, but I get errors in terminal when I try the commands.

VMware can me used in the same way as VirtualBox, right? I want to install a different OS inside Ubuntu using VMWare.

VMWare is not packaged, but you can find detailed install instructions in the Community Wiki. I suggest you start by installing VMWare Player and go on from there. If you have particular issues installing please post the error messages.
