How to setup Qemu/KVM using libvirt on debian.


Install libvirt:

sudo apt install qemu-kvm <-- The actual virtualization solution we are using

sudo apt install libvirt-daemon-system <-- The background service that acts as a frontend for QEMU/KVM

sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd <-- Enabling the background service

sudo apt install virt-manager <-- The GUI for creating and managing VMs

sudo gpasswd -a $USER libvirt <-- You will need to log out and back in for the changes to take effect.
