In this video tutorial, we will cover how to install KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS system and demonstrate creating a virtual machine using the virt-manager application.
########## KVM Installation Steps on Ubuntu 24.04 ##############
1) Package Apt Repository Packages Index
sudo apt update
2) Check if Virtualization is enabled
egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
Install the cpu-checker package
sudo apt install -y cpu-checker
Another way to check if KVM virtualization is enabled
kvm-ok
3) Install KVM on Ubuntu 24.04
sudo apt install -y qemu-kvm virt-manager libvirt-daemon-system virtinst libvirt-clients bridge-utils
4) Enable and start virtualization daemon
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
Check virtualization daemon is running
sudo systemctl status libvirtd
5) Add Your Local User to the KVM and Libvirt Group
sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
6) Create Network Bridge using netplan
Create a file with following content
sudo vi /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
ethernets:
ens33:
dhcp4: false
dhcp6: false
bridges:
br0:
interfaces: [ens33]
dhcp4: false
addresses: [192.168.2.120/24]
routes:
- to: default
via: 192.168.2.1
metric: 100
nameservers:
addresses: [8.8.8.8]
save and close the file.
sudo chmod 600 /etc/netplan/*.yaml
Now, run following command to apply above network changes
sudo netplan apply
7) Launch KVM Virt-Manager and Create Virtual Machines
