You can find vmx or svm from the cpu instruction set to support virtualization. Then you need to enter the BIOS to open an account for CPU virtualization support, and then you can install kvm.

Yum-y install qemu-kvm libvirt python-stronginst bridge-utils

/Etc/init. d/lib1_d start

Install graphical management tools

Virt-manager

Then you can use VNC or other graphic management tools to manage kvm through graphics.

Configure VNCserver

Vnc also requires support from the desktop environment. First, ensure that the desktop environment, such as GNOME or KDE, is installed. If not, run the following command to install

Yum groupinstall Desktop-yyum install fontforge-y

Install vncserver

Yum install tigervnc-server tigervnc

Run the vncserver command

Vncserver

Enter the password.

Connect to vnc through client tools

Select Virtual Machine Management

Then you can install the Virtual Machine graphically. The installation is very simple.
