- So what do we need to do to run our favorite hypervisor?
Which is KVM, of course.
We start with the grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo.
Let's check.
So, we are ready to continue using
dnf groups install
"Virtualization Host".
And that apparently was already installed.
Well that just makes it easy.
Then dnf install virt-manager.
And next you need to make sure
that you have access to an installation ISO.
Accessing a CD-rom device from
within the virtual machine manager is complicated,
so I recommend you just do an iso.
I should already have one.
As you can see, rhel9.iso.
That's the one that I'm going to use.
So then we do have all the ingredients.
Let's do a check on df-h.
We have 8.1 gigabytes in the route.
That's not much, but it's enough.
So let's start virt-manager.
And in virt-manager,
you are going to select your installation iso.
Then you select what you want to do.
Do not use sr0, but go to browse local.
In your file system route and use this rhel9.iso.
CentOS nine comes down to the same, by the way.
Memory, it's safe to accept the default.
For disk, we need to make that a little bit smaller.
I have only eight gigabytes, so let's do six.
There we have the overview, and then you can click finish.
And that will start the virtual machine installer for you.
