Installing KVM VirtualMachine Manager in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Greater

1.To Check Weather the System Support for Virtualization we need to check using


# egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

Note

If 0 it means that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualization.
If 1 or more it does - but you still need to make sure that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.

2.To see if your processor is 64-bit, you can run this command


# egrep -c ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo

3.Now see if your running kernel is 64-bit, just issue the following command



# uname -m

4.First update the Desktop using



# sudo apt get update

5.Then install the KVM Virtual Manager by using command



# sudo apt-get install virt-manager

6.Then install the server and dependency for KVM using command



#  sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils

7.Add the user in libvirt group by using


# sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd

8.Open Virtual Manager in Command Line using command



# virt-manager
