1.1 Installing xva-img from source

Objective: Install xve-image from source on an ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine in order to convert from XVA to a VMDK to be imported in VMWorkstation

Step 1. Navigate to eriklax/xva-img: XVA (Citrix Xen format) virtual disk tool. Supports RAW disk image exports and imports. (github.com) and download the entire zip file of the repository. In this situation, I am using wget on the Linux machine to download in my current directory.
Step 2. From terminal, unzip everything to whatever directory you want. I chose '/opt'
change directory to where the zip file is located. 
cd /opt/xva-img
Unzip the Master zip file you just downloaded from git
unzip master.zip
Step 3. Change directory into the unzipped directory of 'xva-img-master'
Step 4. Install the dependencies for xva-img as noted on the github page, and install from source

This is the final step installing xva-img on to your machine.
