QEMU is a free and open-source emulator that allows users to run various operating systems on their host machine. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install QEMU on Kali Linux.
We recommend updating your Kali Linux system to the latest version before installing QEMU. To update your system, open the terminal and type:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
To install QEMU, open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install qemu
This command will install QEMU along with its dependencies on your system.
If you plan to use QEMU for virtualization, consider installing additional packages for better performance. To do so, type the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils
These packages will allow you to create virtual machines and manage them effectively.
To verify that QEMU is installed on your system, type qemu-system-x86_64 in the terminal. If the command does not return any error, QEMU is successfully installed.
Installing QEMU on Kali Linux is a quick and easy process. By following the simple steps mentioned above, you can install QEMU on your system and start using it for virtualization.
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!
