Hello, the libvirt documentation <https://libvirt.org/apps.html> has nothing on installing libvirt to Raspberry Pi 5, so the documentation says to email <https://libvirt.org/contact.html> any suggestions. Cheers, Ken.

You don't mention which distribution or OS you are running on your computer, but regardless libvirt is packaged in almost all linux distributions so the best approach is to use the package manager to install it. In the most common distribution for the raspberry pi; raspbian; the proper way is to just use 'apt install libvirt' which should install all libvirt sub-packages.

Thank you. Sorry, it's the default, which I think is Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) - Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software. I shall try apt install libvirt. Cheers, Ken. On Thu, 7 Mar 2024 at 18:41, Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> wrote:

For Debian-based systems you probably want # apt install libvirt-daemon-system instead. That should produce a working local installation by bringing in the clients, the daemon, the QEMU driver as well as QEMU itself. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
