Currently i have installed below vmware workstation version.
$ vmware --version
VMware Workstation 15.5.7 build-17171714
When I launch vmware from command line, it is asking to choose the kernal path. Have provided latest installed kernal path, but didn't work it started showing below message.
C header files matching your running kernel were not found Error.
So found the below command to fix the vm dependency related will be installed automatically. However it fails with below error.
$ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
