  1. Download the VMware
    vCenter Cloud Gateway Appliance
    from https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VMC_GA&productId=664.
    You are directed to My VMware, where you can complete the download of the appliance installer ISO image.
  2. Prepare a JSON template for the installation.
    1. In the installer ISO image, browse to the
      cli-installer/templates
      directory.
      This directory contains sample JSON templates for installing
      vCenter Cloud Gateway Appliance
      either directly on an
      ESXi
      host or through a
      vCenter Server
      system.
    2. Copy a template to a working directory and edit it to include the necessary parameters.
      For more information about available template parameters, invoke the installer with the option
      --template-help
      . For example, on Windows, enter
      vcgw-deploy.exe install --template-help
      .
  3. From the command line, change directory to the
    cli-installer
    directory and run the installation prechecks.
    • For Windows OS, enter
      vcgw-deploy.exe install
      path-to-template
      --precheck-only
      .
    • For Linux OS, enter
      vcgw-deploy install
      path-to-template
      --precheck-only
      .
    • For Mac OS, enter
      vcgw-deploy install
      path-to-template
      --precheck-only
      .
    The prechecks identify problems with the template and parameters provided, so that you can fix any errors before launching the installation.

      path-to-template
      --accept-eula
      .
    • For Mac OS, enter
      vcgw-deploy install
      path-to-template
