# 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)
## How to Deploy a Workspace Image via the Web
**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.
## How to Deploy a Workspace Image Using Image Pre-staging
**To deploy a workspace image using image pre-staging**
1. Create an image pre-stage folder, and push the image to the folder.
For information on configuring image pre-staging, see [How to Configure Image Pre-staging](how-to-configure-image-pre-staging.md).
2. Create a deployment package, and include the path to the image pre-stage folder.
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.
