Libvirt works both as client (for most drivers) and server (for the
|
||
|
|
`QEMU driver <drvqemu.html>`__) on macOS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:since:`Since 8.1.0`, the "hvf" domain type can be used to run
|
||
|
|
hardware-accelerated VMs on macOS via
|
||
|
|
`Hypervisor.framework <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor>`__.
|
||
|
|
QEMU version 2.12 or newer is needed for this to work.

Installation
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libvirt client (virsh), server (libvirtd) and development headers can be
|
||
|
|
installed from `Homebrew <https://brew.sh>`__:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
brew install libvirt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Running libvirtd locally
|
||
|
|
========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The server can be started manually:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ libvirtd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or on system boot:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ brew services start libvirt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once started, you can use virsh as you would on Linux.
