Unlike using VMWare Tools to enable Linux guest capabilities, the open-vm-tools package doesn't auto-mount shared VMWare folders. This can be frustrating in various ways, but there's an easy fix.

TL;DR

Install open-vm-tools and run:

sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other

function install_dependencies() {
	echo "Installing dependencies..."
	sudo apt -qq update
	sudo apt -qq install -y curl git wget
#	sudo apt -qq install -y bison flex kernel-package libelf-dev libssl-dev
	sudo apt -qq install -y bison flex libelf-dev libssl-dev
}
