[In case your vSphere Client is unable to access the VMware download server, you may instead download either "VMware Studio appliance in OVA" or both "VMware Studio appliance in OVF 1.0" and "VMDK associated to the OVF 1.0 and OVF 0.9 descriptor" (you must place these files in the same directory) then use the vSphere Client to deploy the appliance locally.] If you plan to use VMware Infrastructure 3 to host the VMware Studio virtual appliance, you may use the VI Client to import the appliance ("VMware Studio appliance in OVF 0.9") directly from the VMware download site to your VMware VirtualCenter 2.5 or VMware ESX/ESXi 3.5 host.

[In case your VI Client is not able to access the VMware download server, you may instead download both the "VMware Studio appliance in OVF 0.9" and "VMDK associated to the OVF 1.0 and OVF 0.9 descriptor" (you must place these files in the same directory) then use the VI Client to import the appliance locally.] Both OVF 1.0 and OVF 0.9 of the VMware Studio virtual appliance reference the same VMDK file. The OVA is a tar archive of the VMware Studio virtual appliance in OVF 1.0 format. The .mf and .cert files are the OVF manifest and certificate files. If you plan to use VMware Workstation or VMware Server for hosting the VMware Studio virtual appliance, download "VMware Studio appliance in ZIP", extract the ZIP file, and launch the extracted VMX file. If you plan to use VMware vCloud Director 1.0 for hosting the VMware Studio virtual appliance, download "VMware Studio appliance in OVF 1.0" and "VMDK associated to the OVF 1.0 and OVF 0.9 descriptor", login to the vCloud Director web interface, go to the desired catalog, upload the Studio OVF package as a vApp template, add the Studio vApp template to the desired cloud, and launch Studio from the cloud. "VMware Studio Plugin for Eclipse in ZIP" contains a plugin that integrates your VMware Studio virtual appliance into the Eclipse IDE.
