Basically when we want to install the newer pro version of vmware workstation than we have kernel issue like modules missing vmmon and vmnet for the ubuntu debian 6.17 for this there is an explanation in the video and the commands will be
vmware --version
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
uname -a
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/philipl/vmware-host-mod... -b workstation-17.6.3
uname -a
ls
cd vmware-host-modules
ls
make
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
