.. role:: since
=============
macOS support
=============
.. contents::
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.
