How to install KVM on Debian

Since I need it for training purposes, RHCSA, I am going to install the Red Hat based virtualization platform on Debian. Choosing that platform is good if your station support virtualization, KVM, for Intel version we should check out cpuinfo file using the following command:

grep --color vmx /proc/cpuinfo

For AMD based processor will follow with this:

grep --color svm /proc/cpuinfo

The needed packages for setting up the system are:

aptitude install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virtinst kvm virt-viewer virt-manager

Now we only need to get the user we want to use VM added to libvirt and kvm groups:

adduser ouruser libvirt
adduser ouruser kvm
