Prepare the host computer
Requirements
To-do
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 may support ARM[^49]- or RISC-V-based platforms in the future.
It is expected that Phyllome OS will consume approximately 1 CPU core and 1 GB of RAM[^50], 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.
