To begin with, make sure you have all the necessary dependencies installed. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal: `$ sudo apt update`. This will ensure that your system is up-to-date and all the required packages are installed.

The installation wizard will then guide you through the installation process. You'll need to choose whether to disable the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and agree to the terms of service. Once you've agreed, select 'I want to try VMware Workstation 16 for 30 days' and click on 'Finish'.

To start the installation, execute the bundle file using the following command: `$ sudo`. This will begin the installation process.

Once the installation is complete, you can start the VMware Workstation Pro application by searching for it in your Activity menu. Click on the VMware Workstation icon to launch the application.
