In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of ConVirt on Ubuntu Server. ConVirt is an open source virtualization management system that allows administrators to manage multiple virtualization platforms including KVM, OpenVZ, Xen, and VMware, from a single web-based interface.

Prerequisites

Before you start installing ConVirt, make sure your Ubuntu Server is up-to-date by running the following command:
