Ubuntu Installed as a VMware Virtual Machine

[capatinxarzu]

I have been installing Ubuntu as a VMware Virtual Machine.  I understand it is required that, after installing Ubunto as a virtual machine, I will need to execut VMware Tools.  
The good news is that I got to this point:

So this means that I have VMware Tools 10.3.23 build-16594550 for Linux installed successfully.

The bad news is that I got to this point:

This means, of course, that the pl program I was running to install VMware Tools tried to launch another script that would have configured the tools but, strangely, it failed.  I do not why.   It says I do not have permissions.  So, I figured I would try running this pl file seperately instead of being invoked.

Did you preface the command with sudo. You have to run as the super user
