Install KVM qemu libvirt

Official Ubuntu KVM installation

Before continuing with the installation, make sure your Ubuntu host machine supports KVM virtualization. The system should have either an Intel processor with the VT-x (vmx), or an AMD processor with the AMD-V (svm) technology support.

Run the following grep command to verify that your processor supports hardware virtualization:

grep -Eoc '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

If the CPU supports hardware virtualization, the command will output a number greater than zero, which is the number of the CPU cores. Otherwise, if the output is 0 it means that the CPU doesn’t support hardware virtualization.

On some machines, the virtual technology extensions may be disabled in the BIOS by the manufacturers.

• To check if VT is enabled in the BIOS, use the kvm-ok tool.

kvm-ok

output

INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used

• Install packages

sudo apt install qemu libvirt-daemon-system \
libvirt-clients libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev libvirt-dev \
zlib1g-dev ruby-dev ruby-libvirt ebtables dnsmasq-base \
qemu-kvm bridge-utils virtinst virt-manager libvirt-doc libnss-libvirt

• Start and enable libvirtd daemon service.

sudo systemctl is-active libvirtd

• To be able to create and manage virtual machines, you’ll need to add your user to the “libvirt” and “kvm” groups. To do that, enter:

sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER

• Add libvirt in nsswitch.conf
