On the boinc wiki website, it says:

The easiest (and recommended) way to set up a BOINC server is to use a virtual machine that we've created for that purpose, with all the necessary software already installed. You can run this virtual machine using the VMWare player and any Intel-based computer (Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X). If you take this approach, skip the rest of this page.

But I'm having problems installing the VMWare player on my Mac OS X. Is it because, in reality, the player isn't compatible on OS X? I've read other places that you need VMWare Fusion instead?

I've tried installing vmware player on mac os x, but the firs thing that it says i'm missing is the lsmod command.

Thanks!
