QEMU is a popular emulator that helps you run operating systems and applications on different platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you to install QEMU on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before installing any software, it is always a good practice to update the system to the latest available packages. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system and install any missing packages.
Once the system is updated, install QEMU using the following command:
sudo pacman -S qemu
This command will download and install QEMU and all its dependencies.
To verify that QEMU is installed correctly, run the command below on the terminal:
qemu-system-x86_64 --version
This command will display the version number of QEMU installed on your system. If you can see the version number, it means that QEMU is installed correctly.
If you plan to use QEMU to run Windows or any other operating system, you need to install some additional packages to support specific hardware. Run the command below in the terminal to install the required packages:
sudo pacman -S virt-manager virt-viewer dnsmasq bridge-utils ebtables
These packages are required to manage the virtual machines running on QEMU.
That’s it! You have successfully installed QEMU on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now run multiple operating systems and applications simultaneously using QEMU.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
