incus init iso-vm --empty --vm

```{note}
Depending on the needs of the operating system being installed, you may want to allocate more CPU, memory or storage to the virtual machine.

For example, for 2 CPUs, 4 GiB of memory and 50 GiB of storage, you can do:

incus init iso-vm --empty --vm -c limits.cpu=2 -c limits.memory=4GiB -d root,size=50GiB
```

The second step is to import an ISO image that can later be attached to the VM as a storage volume:

incus storage volume import <pool> <path-to-image.iso> iso-volume --type=iso
