From layout and navigation to workflow and usability, **Zyphor OS** minimizes the learning curve while still offering the full power of Linux underneath.\n\n# Build-Scripts\n\n## Packages and Initialization\n\n```bash\nsudo apt update\n\nsudo apt install -y git live-build simple-cdd cdebootstrap curl\n\ngit clone https://github.com/markjasonespelita/zyphor_os.git\n```\n\n## Build\n\n```bash\ncd zyphor_os\n\n./build.sh --verbose\n```\n\n## Virtual Machine For Testing (QEMU System x86_64)\n\n```bash\nsudo apt update\n\nsudo apt install qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils qemu-system-gui libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils virt-manager -y\n```\n\n# Virtualization Check Compatibility\n\n## ✅ Step 1: Check if your CPU supports virtualization\n\n```bash\negrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo\n```\n* If result is 0 ❌ → your CPU or BIOS virtualization is OFF\n* If \u003e 0 ✅ → good, continue\n\n## ✅ Step 2: Enable virtualization in BIOS\n\nReboot → enter BIOS/UEFI → enable:\n\n* Intel: VT-x\n* AMD: SVM\n\nSave and boot back.\n\n## ✅ Step 3: Install KVM packages\n\n```bash\nsudo apt update\n\nsudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils -y\n```\n\n## ✅ Step 4: Load KVM modules\n\nFor Intel:\n\n```bash\nsudo modprobe kvm-intel\n```\n\nFor AMD:\n\n```bash\nsudo modprobe kvm-amd\n```\n\nThen check:\n\n```bash\nlsmod | grep kvm\n```\nYou should see **kvm_intel** or **kvm_amd**\n\n## ✅ Step 5: Test the ISO (Live Mode)\n\n```bash\nsudo qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm --cdrom \u003ciso-name\u003e.iso -m 2048\n```\n---\n## Create a persistent QEMU virtual disk\n\n```bash\nsudo qemu-img create -f qcow2 zyphor_test.qcow2 25G\n```\n## Load the ISO file inside the virtual disk\n\n```bash\nsudo qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm --cdrom \u003ciso-name\u003e.iso --hda zyphor_test.qcow2 --boot d -m 2048\n```\n\n## Boot virtual disk\n\n```bash\nsudo qemu-system-x86_64 --hda zyphor_test.qcow2 --boot c -m 2048\n```\n\n## Delete virtual disk anytime\n\n```bash\nsudo rm -rf zyphor_test.qcow2 --verbose\n```\n\n---\n\n## 📚 References\n\n- 🌐 [Debian Official
