QEMU is a popular open-source virtual machine software that allows you to run a variety of operating systems on your Linux Mint computer. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing QEMU on Linux Mint.
Before you begin, make sure:
You need to install some system dependencies required to build and run QEMU on your Linux Mint system. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev libpixman-1-dev
Next, download the latest version of QEMU from the official website. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
cd ~
git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
This will download the QEMU source code to your home directory.
Once you have downloaded QEMU, you need to configure and build it. You can do this by running the following commands:
cd qemu
./configure
make
sudo make install
This will configure, build and install QEMU on your system.
To verify that QEMU was installed correctly, you can run the following command in your terminal:
qemu-system-x86_64 --version
This will display the version of QEMU that you have installed on your system.
By now, you have successfully installed QEMU on your Linux Mint system. You can now start using QEMU to run various operating systems on your computer.
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!
