Qemu is one of the virtualizations technology, with qemu we can make a virtualization OS. It can be installed on the MacOS as well.
Install Qemu
brew install qemu
Check installed version
qemu-system-x86_64 --version
Create a virtual disk for a VM.
e.g:
mkdir -p ~/MY/VM/DEBIAN
qemu-img create -f qcow2 ~/MY/VM/DEBIAN/debian-vm1.qcow2 40G
Output:
Formatting 'debian-vm1.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 cluster_size=65536 extended_l2=off compression_type=zlib size=42949672960 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
Boot from ISO for installation.
Download the installer ISO file and place it to the same directory. Once ISO file is downloaded we can start to installing the VM:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -vga virtio -display default,show-cursor=on -usb -device usb-tablet -smp 2 -cdrom debian-12.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso -drive file=debian-vm1.qcow2,if=virtio
Run VM in the bridge network
qemu-system-x86_64 debian-vm1.qcow2 \ -smp cpus=2 -m 2G \ -nic vmnet-bridged,ifname=en0
Command options
qemu-system-x86_64 --help
That's it, Thank You.
