majed17: When I run that I get this error modprobe: WARNING: Module vmmon not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH.
Also more background, when install linux-headers via pacman I get this error dkms install vmware-workstation/15.0.2_10952284 -k 5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/vmware-workstation/15.0.2_10952284/build/make.log for more information.
So I'm not really sure whats going on.
I have also tried going to this git repo https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules and downloading the modules for workstation 15.0.2 but I get an error saying that vmmon doesnt exist which is odd. Specifically there error listed below
make -C vmmon-only make[1]: vmmon-only: No such file or directory. Stop. make: [Makefile:21: vmmon-only] Error 2

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 (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :
vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs
