# Basic Install
|
|
|
|
For starters, if you just want to run `virt-manager/virt-install` to test out
|
|
changes, it can be done from the source directory:
|
|
```sh
|
|
./virt-manager
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more details on that, see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the software into `/usr/local` (usually), you can do:
|
|
```sh
|
|
./setup.py install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build an RPM, you can run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
./setup.py rpm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`setup.py` generally has all the build and install commands, for more info see:
|
|
|
|
- `./setup.py --help-commands`
|
|
- `./setup.py install --help`
|
|

|

|
## Pre-requisite software
|
|
|
|
A detailed dependency list can be found in [virt-manager.spec](virt-manager.spec) file.
|
|
|
|
Minimum version requirements of major components:
|
|
|
|
- gettext >= 0.19.6
|
|
- python >= 3.4
|
|
- gtk3 >= 3.22
|
|
- libvirt-python >= 0.6.0
|
|
- pygobject3 >= 3.31.3
|
|
- libosinfo >= 0.2.10
|
|
- gtksourceview >= 3
|
|
|
|
On Debian or Ubuntu based distributions, you need to install the
|
|
`gobject-introspection` bindings for some dependencies like `libvirt-glib`
|
|
and `libosinfo`. Look for package names that start with `'gir'`, for example
|
|
`gir1.2-libosinfo-1.0`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Optional software
|
|
|
|
`virt-manager` can optionally use [libguestfs](http://libguestfs.org/)
|
|
for inspecting the guests. For this, `python-libguestfs` >= 1.22 is needed.
