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 F2 or Del.

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
