While following this guide: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=VMware&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile
to install on manjaro I ran into an issue where the instillation hung once it reached the line: "Extracting VMware Installer...done."
I looked into the process on htop and found it was simply sitting here doing nothing. Any advice on logs or things I could peek at to see what is going on?
--Edit
It finished building the package but I timed out as a sudoer and had to install i with pacman -U. Still unsure of why it seemed to hang for so long.

After the first installation, please:
1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...
2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)
3) Enable the services you need:
vmware-networks.service: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator.service: to connect USB devices inside VMs
