Download VEX-NX

VEX-NX installs on your own infrastructure. Choose the installer that matches where it will run; both give you the same software on day one.

Which file do I need?

I use VMware Workstation or ESXi. Get the VMware OVA and import it.

I have a spare physical server. Get the Bare-metal USB ISO, write it to USB, and install. Best for heavy nested QEMU labs.
