When installing from source, you will need to install the following requirements manually:
- QEMU (6.0.0 or newer) with GTK, SDL, SPICE & VirtFS support
- bash (4.0 or newer)
- Coreutils
- curl
- EDK II
- gawk
- grep
- glxinfo
- jq
- LSB
- pciutils
- procps
- python3
- mkisofs
- usbutils
- util-linux; including
uuidgen - sed
- socat
- spicy
- swtpm
- xdg-user-dirs
- xrandr
- zsync
- unzip
For Ubuntu, Arch and NixOS hosts, the ppa, AUR or nix packaging will take care of the dependencies. For other host distributions or operating systems it will be necessary to install the above requirements or their equivalents.
These examples may save a little typing:
This also applies to derivatives:
sudo apt-get install bash coreutils curl genisoimage grep jq mesa-utils ovmf pciutils procps python3 qemu sed socat spice-client-gtk swtpm-tools unzip usbutils util-linux xdg-user-dirs xrandr zsync sudo dnf install bash coreutils curl edk2-tools genisoimage grep jq mesa-demos pciutils procps python3 qemu sed socat spice-gtk-tools swtpm unzip usbutils util-linux uuidgen-runtime xdg-user-dirs xrandr zsyncPlease note that you may have to use sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf instead of sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf-bin - depending on how your system is configured.
