Instructions for installing the Nagios Fusion OVA image can be found in the Nagios Fusion OVA installation Guide:

Please note that we furnish our virtual images (OVA/VHD) as a convenience and they are not indented for production use. The virtual machine images are not considered official distributions and only the Nagios Software contained within the image is an official distribution. We provide them to enable our customers to quickly bootstrap and evaluate our product. They are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind and we do not manage and/or maintain the image after creation. You are welcome to use our OVA in production if you like however we do not support the operating system nor any alterations to the underlying dependencies/components.

You can visit the Installation section of the Admin Guide for complete details and documentation on all of the available options.
