How to install virt-manager (replace virtualbox)

  1. Make sure your machine support KVM by running LC_ALL=C lscpu | grep Virtualization or grep -E --color=auto 'vmx|svm|0xc0f' /proc/cpuinfo. If nothing is displayed after running either command, then your processor does not support hardware virtualization. If it looks like your processor does not support virtualization, it's almost certainly turned off in the BIOS.

  2. Install the following package using this command (for arch-based linux) sudo pacman -S qemu virt-manager ebtables

  3. enable libvirtd by using sudo systemctl enable libvirtd and then start libvirtd by using sudo systemctl start libvirtd.

  4. Add your username to libvirtd group by using sudo usermod -G libvirt -a <username>

  5. Finally, you ready to go using virt-manager.
