Unable to install VMware Horizon Client on Ubuntu 18.04

sudo sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-4.8.0-8518891.x64.bundle
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
/tmp/ line 76: python: command not found

Edit: I followed these steps but still get the original error message;

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python2.7
cd ~/Downloads
sudo sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-4.8.0-8518891.x64.bundle

Same Result:

Extracting VMware Installer...done.
/tmp/ line 76: python: command not found

tried 4.7.0 version; same thing.

Python 2.7 is not installed by default on Ubuntu 18.04 so you need to install it, but typing the wrong command to execute a .bundle file is what caused the python: command not found error.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python2.7
cd ~/Downloads
sudo ./VMware-Horizon-Client-4.8.0-8518891.x64.bundle

If you get a permissions error from the last command, right-click the VMware-Horizon-Client-4.8.0-8518891.x64.bundle file, select Properties -> Permissions tab -> Allow executing file as program.

Try the below from their documentation:
