# How to use Phyllome OS
|
|
|
|
*This section explains how to further configure Phyllome OS and how to use in a general sense.*
|
|
|
|
## Post-installation configuration
|
|
|
|
After Phyllome OS [has been successfully installed](/deploy/install) and [its first-launch process completed](/deploy/install#first-launch), a few tasks are required before it can be used to its fullest potential.
|
|
|
|
> As Phyllome OS evolves, one of the main goal is to shorten the time it would take for an end-user to have a fully operational virtual machine loaded with the installer of their favorite operating system, to the point that a user may not see the Phyllome OS environment
|
|
at all. The following post-installation configuration will, hopefully, be made obsolete in a future Phyllome OS version.

|
|
|
### Grant the current user the ability to manage system-based virtual machines
|
|
|
|
Any new user, including the one that has been created during the first-launch set up, won't be part of the `libvirt` group. It means that it won't be able to manage the *qemu:///system*, which runs `libvirt` as root.
|
|
|
|
To avoid a password prompt each time you connect to *qemu:///system*, you can add the current user to the `libvirt` by using the following command, in the terminal:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt $(whoami)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Phyllome OS will eventually switch to the *qemu:///session* URI, which doesn't require elevated privileges. Have a look at [this great blog post](https://blog.wikichoon.com/2016/01/qemusystem-vs-qemusession.html) to understand some of the differences between the *session* and the *system* URI.

|
|
|
### Update GRUB and reboot
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the GRUB config won't correctly update during the kickstart phase, so it has to be done manually.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
When the is done, please reboot: `sudo reboot`
|
|
|
|
## Install and use a guest operating system
|
|
|
|
Generally speaking, installing your favorite guest operating system inside Phyllome OS requires that you fetch an official ISO from the editor of the said operating system, that you make it accessible to `libvirt` and that you go through the installation.
