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-syst
