Proxmox does not support OVA files natively, but it is possible to import OVA files from the shell.

1. Login to your Proxmox VE interface, select your hypervisor from the tree view, then click Shell in the hypervisor menu.

1. Download the Deskpro OVA file.

wget http://get.deskpro.com/amd64/deskpro-vmware.ova -O /tmp/deskpro-vmware.ova
 copy

1. Extract the OVA archive file.

tar xvf /tmp/deskpro-vmware.ova -C /tmp
 copy

1. Import the OVF.

qm importovf <vmid> /tmp/deskpro.ovf local-lvm
 copy

With this command, you will need to replace <vmid> with an unused Virtual Machine ID.

1. Select the imported VM from your Proxmox VE interface, select Hardware then click Add > Network Device, then click Add to create a new network device.

1. Select Console from the VM menu then click Start Now.

1. When prompted, enter a password for the Linux root user. It is important that you remember this password

Re-enter the password to confirm, then highlight Ok and press Enter

1. If your installation does not detect an assigned IP address you can manually configure a static IP
