# ova2qcow2
Just a simple bash script to convert .vmdk image files inside a .ova file into .qcow image files suitable for use with UTM or QEMU.
Thanks to the folks in this discussion for explaining how to do this: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/discussions/2521
## How to run a .ova VM in [UTM]
- Convert the .ova to .qcow images: `ova2qcow2.sh file.ova`
- Create a new UTM VM
- Choose "Emulate" if running on Apple Silicon
- Choose "(Custom) Other"
- Once the VM is created, edit it
- Under QEMU, uncheck "UEFI Boot"
- Under Drives, choose "New..."
- Import the converted .qcow file(s)
- Drag the .qcow drives in the correct order, before any other drives
- Save and run your VM
