* Change directory to where you unzipped the VHD image.
* You can use the PowerShell `get-help` command to see current options for the installation script.
  * `get-help '.\Vectra Stream.ps1'`
* **Please NOTE**
  * To specify the storage path for the VM you must use the `-path` option, or your installation will occur in the current directory.
  * Remote hosts are also supported
    * For guidance in specifying remote paths, refer to the **`get-help`** option.
* Execute the PowerShell script to begin the installation.
  * **`& '.\Vectra Stream.ps1'`**
  * You will need to specify the management switch and configuration.
  * The script will then create Stream and start it up.

* Once the script has finished you can rename your VM in the Hyper-V manager if desired.
  * Stream will start automatically after the deployment script runs.
  * Renaming can be done while Stream is running.
