I would be happy to, you have to help by answering the questions we ask, at least to the best of your ability.

Have you set up the repos?

I suspect no is the answer, this is most easily done in a gui, you don't have one. However, it is just a text file and it can be manually edited. I have to go find out the name of the file. It is not something I usually do.

How did you install this system? From CD or DVD?

This you should be able to tell me.
Understand, for apt-get to work, it has to know about the online repos. If they are not configured, you can not use them. The other choice is to install from a local media, CD, or DVD.
In a virtual machine install, the CD or DVD is owned by the host system. I don't use Vmware, I do use VirtualBox. There may well be differences I don't know about. In V-box, once the OS is installed, you have to install guest additions so you can allow the guest OS to use the CD/DVD drive. This part you will have to figure out, or someone else that uses vmware may let us know how to make the drive available to a guest OS.
Then you need the media in the drive, and you should be able to use apt-get to install what ever you are missing.
You said above, you have enough resources. In a virtual machine, you have to allocate some of those resources to the guest system.
How much memory did you allocate for the install? If you did not allocate enough, this may explain why you got the text install.
