When installing Horizon Agent that have a warning

I want to publish a linux desktop.

Create a new VM as a template.

Install Ubuntu 16.04

After the OS install has been completed, install VM Tools.

Then install Horizon Agent.

But, it have a waning.

But, I check "System Requirements for Horizon 7 for Linux".

Ubuntu 16.04 is support.

And I see "No Open-VM-Tools package found". But I am installed VM Tools.

A.) Make sure you have a support desktop environment installed:

Ubuntu 16.04

Unity

Gnome Flashback (Metacity), K Desktop Environment (KDE), MATE

B.)  Set your vRam Correctly: Virtual Machine Settings for 2D and vSGA Graphics

C.) Install the open source VMware Tools (apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop)

     Prepare a Linux Machine for Remote Desktop Deployment
