Virtual Machine Manager
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines
|
|
via the libvirt library.
|
|
|
|
The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for
|
|
all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing
|
|
Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is
|
|
primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any
|
|
virtualization backend libvirt supports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pre-requisite software
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
virt-manager was ported to GTK3 at the beginning of 2013. Older GTK3
|
|
or pygobject3 versions likely will not work for running virt-manager.
|
|
|
|
Earliest tested versions of major components:
|
|
|
|
python >= 2.6
|
|
gtk3 >= 3.6
|
|
libvirt-python >= 0.4.0
|
|
pygobject3 >= 3.4
|
|
libosinfo >= 0.2.10
|
|
|
|
A more detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in. On
|
|
Debian 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'.
