# Prepare the host computer
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
These instructions are valid for x86-64 computers that do ship with Linux or Windows.
|
|
|
|
Phyllome OS targets x86 systems with hardware-assisted virtualization, with a strong preference for those providing IOMMU as well.
|
|
|
|
It is expected that Phyllome OS will consume approximately 1 CPU core and 1 GB of RAM, which should be enough to accommodate a few
|
|
virtual machines. For instance, on a system with a CPU with 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM, a guest virtual machine will be able to be assigned up to 3 cores and 7 GB of RAM.
|
|
|
|
### Minimum requirements for Phyllome OS Desktop
|
|
|
|
* x86 computer that supports the first generation of hardware-assisted virtualization extensions
|
|
* For AMD-based configurations, it means that AMD V is available and enabled
|
|
* For Intel-based configurations, it means that Intel VT-x is available and enabled
|
|
* 2-core processor
|
|
* 8 GB of RAM
|
|
* SSD-based storage device to store disk images and Phyllome OS
|
|
* Any graphics card (Linux or macOS guests only)
|
|
|
|
### Recommended requirements for Phyllome OS Desktop
|
|
|
|
* x86 computer that supports the second generation of hardware-assisted virtualization extensions
|
|
* For AMD-based configurations, it means that AMD Vi is available and enabled
|
|
* For Intel-based configurations, it means that Intel VT-d is available and enabled
|
|
* 8-core processor
|
|
* 16 GB of RAM
|
|
* NVME-based storage device to store disk images and Phyllome OS
|
|
* Two graphics cards or a graphics card that supports vfio-mdev or SR-IOV
|
|
|
|
## Enable IOMMU
|
|
|
|
### Access the firmware
|
|
|
|
During the boot process, you need to press a certain key to access the firmware configuration tool for your motherboard, also known as BIOS or UEFI.
|
|
|
|
The most common keystrokes are <kbd>F2</kbd> or <kbd>Del</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
Hardware manufacturers could not agree on a common keystroke to access the firmware configuration tool, so please have a look at the documentation provided by your hardware manufacturer.
|
|
|
|
* **Windows-based computers**
