If you are building a Vagrant box for VMware Desktop (Fusion or Workstation), you need to follow these steps first.

Install ovftool from VMware. This is required in order to convert the image that AWS provides (for VMware ESX/ESXi Server) into a format that is compatible with VMware for Desktop.
After installation, you may need to add ovftool to your $PATH.
```
export PATH="/Applications/VMware OVF Tool":$PATH
```
From the root of the repository, run fetch-vmware-image.sh.
```
./fetch-vmware-image.sh
```
