VMWare Player won't install.

Before I start, just let me say that I am aware that this is not a Slackware problem. It's probably a VMWare problem, but as I don't know exactly how to get in touch with them, I'll ask here.

I am trying to follow a course on ethical hacking on YouTube. The guy giving the course recommends VMWare for use in the course. I sat down at my computer and went to the site he told me to go to to download VMWare. I clicked the link that said Download for Linux. I got the file. It was a .bundle file. Never having worked with one of these before, I immediately Googled it. The site I found said to issue a 'sudo sh <filename>'. So I did that. However, VMWare failed to install:
Code:
michael@caitlyn work $ sudo sh VMware-Player-15.5.1-15018445.x86_64.bundle

Knowing what amazingly little I do about Linux despite all my years using it, I immediately looked in /var/log. I found there a vmware-installer file.

So I guess my question is this. Of all that stuff up there, the one thing I readily understood is KVM is installed. How do I uninstall this? I'm sorry, I do not speak Python yet.

But that didn't solve the entire problem. VMWare Player STILL won't install. I have an updated code listing for you.

How do I get rid of the sqlite3 error? I didn't even know that there WAS an sqlite3. I thought we were still on sqlite2.

And for even more logs. The following log has the newest timestamp:

I'm sorry. I'm just trying to put my hacking skills to use, what few I have at this point. I would really like to get kali working. The video recommends the kali image from www.offensive-security.com. They do have vmware and virtualbox images, but the virtualbox image when I downloaded it, it showed me a screen where I selected Kali Linux and the screen instantly went black after two lines of text. I wish there was a way to access Kali logs from outside of Kali. I'm fried for the moment though. I'm going to go eat supper. Maybe afterward I'll be thinking more clearly.

Clear the directories in /tmp where the install is taking place and try again? That Unique sqlite error stuff is usually duplicate entries in a database table.

Thank you for your patience with me thus far.
Note: I'm deleting the logs and rerunning my sudo sh VMware-Player-15.5.1-15018445.x86_64.bundle before each time I post my output, so the code should be changing gradually.
