-Vantage Express runs on x86 architecture. When you run the VM on M1/2 chips, UTM has to emulate x86. This is significantly slower then virtualization. If you determine that Vantage Express on M1/M2 is too slow for your needs, consider running Vantage Express in the cloud: [AWS](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/run-vantage-express-on-aws.md), [Azure](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/run-vantage-express-on-microsoft-azure.md), [Google Cloud](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/vantage-express-gcp.md).

### Run Vantage Express
1. Go to the directory where you downloaded Vantage Express and unzip the downloaded file.
-2. Start UTM, click on the `+` sign and select `Virtualize` (for Intel Macs) or `Emulate` (for M1 Macs).
-3. On `Operating System` screen select `Other`.
-4. On `Other` screen select `Skip ISO Boot`.
-5. On `Hardware` screen allocate at least 4GB of memory and at least 1 CPU core. We recommend 10GB RAM and 2 CPUs.

+ - In the **Network** tab, set **Network Mode** to **Emulated VLAN**.

+11. Map drives:
* Delete the default `IDE Drive`.
- * Map the 3 Vantage Express drives by importing the disk files from the downloaded VM zip file. Make sure you map them in the right order, `-disk1`, `-disk2`, `-disk3` . The first disk is bootable and contains the database itself. Disks 2 and 3 are so called `pdisks` and contain data. As you import the files UTM will automatically convert them fro `vmdk` into `qcow2` format. Make sure that each disk is configured using the `IDE` interface:

+In this guide we have covered how to quickly create a working Teradata Vantage environment on Apple Mac M1/M2/M3. We used Teradata Vantage Express in a VM running on UTM. We installed all software locally and didn't have to pay for cloud resources.
