# Use a live guest OS

As of now, `netboot.xyz` is one of the main way to deploy or use a guest operating system inside Phyllome OS. It is compatible with most (but not all) guest operating systems. This small guide will show you how to deploy a live system inside Phyllome OS.

## Preparation

By default, `netboot.xyz.iso` should already be located under `var/lib/libvirt/iso`. If it's not the case, please use the following command to fetch it, or navigate to [the website](https://netboot.xyz/):

```
wget https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.iso -P /var/lib/libvirt/iso/
```

## Run the script

The following script, which also doesn't require root privileges, will create a virtual machine called `my-first-live-vm`. This virtual machine will be started automatically and added to `virt-manager`.

```
/usr/sbin/create-live-vm.sh
```
*Notice the new icon under QEMU/KVM: this is the new virtual machine that has just been created. Go to the section to learn how to interact with it.*

## Access your virtual machine display

* Double-click on *my-first-live-vm* to open its virtual display, then click on *Connect to console*.

> Phyllome OS ships with a small ISO crafted by the team behind [netboot.xyz](https://netboot.xyz/), and that can do network boot, allowing it to do network-based installations of the most popular Linux distributions, among other niceties.

* Go to *Live CDs*

> There is no disk attached to this virtual machine. As a result, only Live CDs will work out-the-box.

```
sudo poweroff
```

> That's it, congratulations!
