Install problems pleas help

[explosev]

I was trying to install a VM from VMWARE​.com and it says and I quote, root access is required for the oporations you have chosen. What does this mean and how do I fix it? What is a root access? I use Linux mint. It will is a fairly old computer. I last used it in 2007.
