# Virtual Machine Manager
|
|
|
|
`virt-manager` is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines
|
|
via [libvirt](https://libvirt.org). Most usage is with QEMU/KVM
|
|
virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well
|
|
supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.
|
|
|
|
Several command line tools are also provided:
|
|
|
|
- `virt-install`: Create new libvirt virtual machines
|
|
- `virt-clone`: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
|
|
- `virt-xml`: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
|
|
- `virt-convert`: Convert VMX or OVF configs to libvirt virtual machines
|
|
|
|
For dependency info and installation instructions, see the
|
|
[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) file. If you just want to quickly test the
|
|
code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./virt-manager --debug ...
|
|
```
