That VMware bundle can't be installed with apt-get. It's its own standalone installer package.



Run chmod +x on the bundle, then execute it with sudo ./VMware-Player-*.bundle



This is the only way to run the VMware installer, as it is NOT an apt compatible package, but its own installation package that runs itself on its own.

    You need to give installer permission to execute and run it.



    chmod +x Vmware-Player-15.0.2-10952284.x86_64.bundle


    Now you would be run it.



    ./Vmware-Player-15.0.2-10952284.x86_64.bundle

    • That only works on Debian packages, not VMware's .bundle installers as they are not Debian packages.
