KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) is a virtualization solution for Linux that lets you create virtual machines for running different operating systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing KVM on MXLinux Latest.
Before installing KVM, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to update your system. Open the terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Enter your password when prompted and wait until the upgrade process is complete.
To install KVM on MXLinux Latest, run the following command:
sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils virt-manager
This command will install KVM and all the necessary dependencies.
After the installation is complete, verify whether KVM is working by running the following command:
sudo kvm-ok
If everything is working properly, you should see the following message:
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
Now that KVM is installed and working, you can create virtual machines using the virt-manager tool. To start the virt-manager, run the following command:
sudo virt-manager
This will open the virt-manager window. From here, you can create, manage, and monitor your virtual machines.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install KVM on MXLinux Latest. Now you can create virtual machines on your system and run different operating systems inside them.
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!
