Need OVA file for Expedition to install on VMware. Please help!

L1 Bithead

Is there an updated link to where I can find an OVA file for Expedition Migration Tool?  Thanks!

Hi @JRichardson2,

We are not offering the OVA file. Instead you should run the installation script in a VM Ubuntu 20.04.

Please follow the installation guide provided here: 

Hope this helps,

Why is there no OVA for this?  There are lots of places this install can go sideways.  Even if it goes smoothly, you could make things much quicker and easier for your customers if you just posted a virtual appliance they could download and run.  You are already expecting your customers to expand their skill sets from Cisco firewalls to Palo.  Before that, you are expecting them to potentially add Linux installation and administration to their repartee.  BTW, not a lot of people know that Fusion is VMware's name for VMware workstation on MAC.  Telling people to click plus in Fusion just adds more instructions that don't have a starting point..... You have to give people context and stop assuming everyone knows everything you know.
