3. Upon clicking Download Now under ESX/

vSphere and filling in your information, you
should see your download commence in your
browser. This will be saved in your downloads
folder when done.
4. Click here and choose the first option. Click

“Go to Downloads.”
Why? You’ll need to do this is because Nagios

XI natively runs on Linux. If you have a Linux
machine you can install it manually via a source
install, if you have Windows, or are unsure how
to manually install Nagios XI, you’ll need a virtual
machine, such as vSphere to complete the install
process.
5. You’ll want to download either the iso file or

the zip file, whichever you prefer.
Note: vSphere is a virtual machine that will make

the install process a lot simpler.

merely a single file distribution of the same file
package, stored in the TAR format.

deploy the template to. Your view will be
slightly different here and likely you’ll only have
one cluster to choose from. If you’re unsure
