For the next two options, the first one is Normal installation, which will install some pre-installed software that we can uninstall if we don't need them. The second option is Minimal installation, which will only install the basic tools needed for the system. Check both options. The first one is to download updates during the installation of Ubuntu, and the second one is to install third-party software for graphics, wireless hardware, and other media formats. I choose Normal installation here, but if you want a clean system, you can choose Minimal installation. Click Continue

At this point, the installation of Ubuntu is complete. It is recommended to create a snapshot to save the current state.

3. Installing open-vm-tools#

To enable file transfer between the Windows 10 computer and the virtual machine, you need to install the VM tools.

Step 1: Vmware Tools is no longer recommended by the official. It is recommended to use the open-source open-vm-tools. So I installed this:
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
Step 2 (key step), it is speculated that some dependency packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install open-vm*
Then
shutdown -r now

4. Creating a Virtual Machine Snapshot#

In the virtual machine -> Snapshot -> Take Snapshot, create a snapshot

Add a name and description

You can find the snapshot we created in the previous step

At this point, the Ubuntu system installation is complete.
