Import the archive into VM virtualizer software (VMware Player, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox) where you will run the VM (this step takes 1-6 hours and is included in the instructions below).The download process will likely take multiple hours, even using Aspera. The default in Aspera Connect is to download to your desktop (which you probably don’t want). Remember to change the settings in the Aspera Connect plugin (via the “gear” icon in the Transfers window or through Aspera Connect Menu>Preferences>Transfers) to download to your external hard drive or other storage with ≥ 1TB of free disk space for downloading/extracting the data.
