To install VMware Tools on Ubuntu, you can use the open-vm-tools package from the official Ubuntu repositories. Here are the steps:

1. Open a Terminal window.
2. Run the following command to update the packages using the sudo command:
```
sudo apt update
```
3. The packages should be updated. If you are using Server OS (Ubuntu Guest OS), enter the following command:
```
sudo apt install open-vm-tools
```
4. Restart your virtual machine.

You can also retrieve and install the software package from the VMware host. The installation can then be completed either by using the Ubuntu desktop GUI or by installing directly from the command terminal .
