# How to Deploy a Workspace Image


When using a deployment package, a new image can be deployed onto client computers in one of the following ways:

-   [Web download](#bkmk-howtodeployaworkspaceimageviatheweb)

-   [Image pre-staging](#bkmk-howtodeployaworkspaceimageusingimageprestaging)

-   [Deploying the image inside the deployment package](#bkmk-howtodeployaworkspaceimageusingadeploymentapackage)

**To deploy a workspace image via the Web**

1.  Upload the MED-V image to the server.

    For information on uploading the image, see [How to Upload a MED-V Image to the Server](how-to-upload-a-med-v-image-to-the-server.md).

2.  Create a deployment package, and include the server path to the location of the image.

    For information on creating a deployment package, see [How to Configure a Deployment Package](how-to-configure-a-deployment-package.md).

3.  Deploy the package to end users.

    For information on deploying the package, see [How to Install MED-V Client](how-to-install-med-v-clientdeployment-package.md).

    MED-V client is installed and started for the first time. On first-time startup, the client downloads the image from the server address specified in the client installation.
