Linux: Installing QEMU

2013 – The following command worked
Fedora:
su -c “yum install qemu”

Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install qemu-system

 

To boot an ISO do something similar to:

qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom filename.iso

If you prepared a USB pen drive and want to test it, run it like this (/dev/sdx being your device name; you may need to sudo to access it):

qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/sdx
