It's a "recipe". You have to replace "path to rpm" by the
actual path to VMware-player-2.0.0-45731.i386.rpm.
In detail:
su -c
runs the command as enquoted as root. You will be prompted
for the root password. The command itself is rpm (install/
update etc.), the switches -Uvh mean:
-U: Upgrade
-v: verbose
-h: hash, i.e. print 50 hash marks while unpacking
VMware-player-2.0.0-45731.i386.rpm.
The remaining part of the rpm command is path and *.rpm
for the upgrade. Installing/Upgrading, in general,
demands for root rights.
