# Basic Install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For starters, if you just want to run `virt-manager/virt-install` to test out
|
|
|
|
|
changes, it can be done from the source directory:
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
./virt-manager
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the software into `/usr/local` (usually), you can do:
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|

|
|
|
./setup.py install
|
2016-12-26 18:46:58 +08:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build an RPM, you can run:
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
2018-02-07 07:59:48 +08:00
|
|
|
./setup.py rpm
|
2016-12-26 18:46:58 +08:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`setup.py` generally has all the build and install commands, for more info see:

A detailed dependency list can be found in

Minimum version requirements of major components:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-02-07 07:59:48 +08:00
|
|
|
- python >= 3.3
|
2019-04-03 05:48:16 +08:00
|
|
|
- gtk3 >= 3.22
|
2016-12-26 18:46:58 +08:00
|
|
|
- libvirt-python >= 0.6.0
|
2019-04-03 05:48:16 +08:00
|
|
|
- pygobject3 >= 3.22
|
2016-12-26 18:46:58 +08:00
|
|
|
- libosinfo >= 0.2.10
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
`gobject-introspection` bindings for some dependencies like `libvirt-glib`
|
2016-12-26 18:46:58 +08:00
|
|
|
and `libosinfo`. Look for package names that start with `'gir'`, for example
|
|
|
|
|
`gir1.2-libosinfo-1.0`.
