### Installation ### Installation
*virt-install* tool is part of the _______ package in Fedora : Install the *virt-install* command-line tool on Fedora :
``` ```
# dnf install ________ # dnf install virt-install
``` ```
## The simpliest command ## Simple command
Use the following command to automatically launch the fedora installation process. It will also automatically create a disk image to install Fedora on. Use the following command to automatically launch the Fedora installation process. It will also automatically create a disk image to install Fedora on. Make sure you have at least 20 GB of free space.
``` ```
virt-install --install fedora32 virt-install --install fedora32
```

## ARM
Start serial QEMU ARM VM, which requires specifying a manual kernel.
```
virt-install \
--name armtest \
--memory 1024 \

--graphics none
```
### Other commands
Uses libosinfo's unattended install support, which will perform the fedora29 install automatically without any user intervention:
`virt-install --install fedora29 --unattended`
### Virt-install with cloud-init
`virt-install --install fedora34,cloud=yes --cloud-init root-password-generate=on ssh-key=/home/user/.ssh/test_rsa.pub disable=on` `virt-install --install fedora34,cloud=yes --cloud-init root-password-generate=on ssh-key=/home/user/.ssh/test_rsa.pub disable=on`
