Void is an operating system that is designed for modern computers with a focus on simplicity, security, and robustness. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Void on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, you need to download the Void image from GitHub. You can download it in any preferred location on your computer. Here, we are assuming that you have downloaded the Void image in the Downloads folder.
Next, you need to create a virtual machine (VM) using the QEMU command. Open the terminal and type the following command:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 void.qcow2 8G
This command will create an empty virtual disk with the name void.qcow2 in the current directory. You can change the name and size of the virtual disk as per your preference.
Once the virtual machine is created, we can proceed with the installation of Void. To install Void on the virtual machine, type the following command in the terminal:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2G -boot d -hda void.qcow2 -cdrom Downloads/void-live-x86_64-20210218.iso
This command will start the VM and load the Void image from the downloaded ISO file. You can replace the name of the ISO file with the one that you have downloaded.
Now, you need to install Void on the virtual disk. Follow these steps:
When the Void image loads, select "Install Void" from the main menu.
Select your preferred language and keyboard layout.
Configure the network settings if required.
Select "Automatic partitioning" or "Manual partitioning" as per your preference.
Select the virtual disk (void.qcow2) as the destination and click on "Write changes to disk".
Confirm the installation and wait for the process to complete.
After the installation is complete, you can start the VM to boot into the installed Void operating system. To start the VM, type the following command in the terminal:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2G -hda void.qcow2
This command will start the VM, and you will be able to use the installed Void operating system.
By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed Void on Fedora CoreOS Latest using a virtual machine. You can now use the Void operating system for your preferred applications and tasks.
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!
