Installing

2. 2. Pre-Installation Checks

   Then Check KVM Virtualization is available
   With:

   egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

   If in Output > 0 then your Processor support Hardware Virtualization!
   (But on a PC you may have still to enable it on BIOS…)Now again, Install the needed Tool:

   sudo apt install cpu-checker

   And then Verify it:

   kvm-ok

   If it’s Good you will see:

   INFO: /dev/kvm exists
   KVM acceleration can be used
   

   Finally, if the answer is negative you can still use KVM but only in a Slow mode…
