`virt-install` is a command-line utility that can be used to create virtual machines. It comes preinstalled with Phyllome OS.
|
||||
* `virt-install` is a command-line utility that can be used to create virtual machines. It comes preinstalled with Phyllome OS.
|
||||
|
||||
* For Fedora, you can install it using the following command as *root*:
|
||||
## Remote
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
dnf install virt-install
|
||||
```
|
||||
* The following command will deploy a virtual machine with a stripped-down GNOME desktop environment. Adjust the settings according to your needs.
