Setup Method

One-Command Installation 

  ./scripts/install_dependencies.sh

Installs:

  • QEMU/KVM: Virtual machine hypervisor
  • libvirt: VM management daemon and tools
  • Bridge utils: Network bridge configuration
  • User permissions: Adds you to libvirt group

Install Dependencies 

  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils

Configure Libvirt 

  sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
newgrp libvirt

Optional: Documentation Tools 

  # Only if you want to build docs locally
sudo apt install -y hugo

Verification 

  # Check VM tools
virsh list --all
qemu-system-x86_64 --version

# Verify KVM support
lsmod | grep kvm
egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo  # Should be >= 1
ls -la /dev/kvm                     # Should be accessible

Next Steps

  1. VM Setup: VM Installation
  2. Launch VMs: sudo ./scripts/run_vms.sh
  3. Configure: Follow VM-specific setup guides
