Archipel is a powerful and flexible solution for managing and deploying virtual machines. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to organize your virtual infrastructure and to manage your virtual resources with ease. Installing Archipel on Windows 10 is a simple and straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps.
Open Command Prompt and run the following command to install Archipel using pip:
pip install archipel
Archipel requires libvirt to be installed. Download the libvirt package for Windows from the official website https://libvirt.org/sources/win32/libvirt-VERSION-Windows.zip and extract the contents to a directory of your choice.
Add the bin directory of the extracted libvirt package to your PATH environment variable by running the following command in Command Prompt:
setx PATH "%PATH%;path\to\libvirt\bin"
Replace path\to\libvirt\bin with the actual path to the bin directory of the extracted libvirt package.
Verify that libvirt has been installed correctly by running the following command in Command Prompt:
virt-manager
If libvirt has been installed correctly, the Virtual Machine Manager application will launch.
Start the Archipel daemon by running the following command in Command Prompt:
archipel
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access the Archipel web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Archipel on your Windows 10 machine. Enjoy managing and deploying virtual machines with ease using this powerful tool.
