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:
./virt-manager
To install the software into /usr/local (usually), you can do:
python setup.py install
To build an RPM, you can run:
python setup.py rpm
setup.py generally has all the build and install commands, for more info see:
python setup.py --help-commands
python setup.py install --help
http://docs.python.org/inst/standard-install.html
Pre-requisite software
======================
A detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in
Minimum version requirements of major components:
python >= 2.7
gtk3 >= 3.14
libvirt-python >= 0.6.0
pygobject3 >= 3.14
libosinfo >= 0.2.10
On Debian or Ubuntu based distributions, you need to install the
gobject-introspection bindings for some depedencies like libvirt-glib
and libosinfo. Look for package names that start with 'gir', for example
gir1.2-libosinfo-1.0
