Download the ISO and then double-click until you find the .ova and double-click it or right click and open it in VMware Workstation. The wizard is pretty simple. 2. After you import the VM and configure the VM with the Wizard. VMware Photon 1.0 will launch and run the scripts in the background. Be patient. It runs for like 5-8 minutes. Just leave it alone. It will boot and you will see the screen. NOTE: Make sure you type in :5480 after the IP or the hostname or you will see bupkis. https://ipaddress or FQDN:5480 . I recommend using the FQDN 3. Select the option that works for you and install everything.

Launch Rufus and configure the ISO 4. After everything is done. Open the USB and delete the "install" .wim file from \sources and replace it with your .wim file and then rename it  to " install " 5. Boot that sucker and verify everything is working. You're done.
