Note that HAXM can only be used on Windows Enterprise/Pro/Education so I'm not going to introduce it here. It took me more than an hour to install Ubuntu 16.04 without the accelerator.įor Windows, there are two options: HAXM and whpx. When starting the VM, you would want to use an accelerator, or else it is going to take a lot of time installing the OS. Now you can create an image by typing qemu-img create -f qcow2.
Here's the youtube video that taught me how to do this. Add Qemu path to environment variables settingsĬopy the Qemu path (should be C:\Program Files\qemu if you didn't change anything) and open environment variables settings by Right click on 'This PC' -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables.Ĭlick on path once and click 'Edit.'. Now you might see that it does not recognize the command. After installing Qemu, open Windows Powershell and type qemu-img. It would be nice if this helps someone, too! It took me some trouble to get it running on Windows so I thought I could document it here in case I need it in the future. Recently I had an assignment that asked us to use Qemu.
