Libvirt is a toolkit to interact with virtualization capabilities

of recent versions of GNU/Linux (and other OSes). (reference: [Libvirt][libvirt_home])

Node-Libvirt is a set of bindings to Libvirt API, which allows to use it from Javascript.

### Virtualization Technologies Supported

   * The [Xen][xen_home] hypervisor on Linux and Solaris hosts.

   * [QEMU][qemu_home] emulator

   * [KVM][kvm_home] Linux hypervisor

   * [LXC][lxc_home] Linux container system

   * [OpenVZ][openvz_home] Linux container system

   * [User Mode Linux][user_mode_linux_home] paravirtualized kernel

   * [VirtualBox][virtualbox_home] hypervisor

   * [VMware ESX and GSX][vmware_home] hypervisors

   * [IBM Power][phyp_home] Hypervisor

### Capabilities

   * Management of virtual machines, virtual networks and storage

   * Remote management using TLS encryption and x509 certificates

   * Remote management authenticating with Kerberos and SASL

   * Local access control using PolicyKit

   * Zero-conf discovery using Avahi multicast-DNS

   * Support for storage on IDE/SCSI/USB disks, FibreChannel, LVM, iSCSI, NFS and filesystems

## Installation

You must have [NodeJS][nodejs_dev] and [Libvirt][libvirt_dev] already installed to be able to build node-libvirt.

### Get and Install node-libvirt

    $ sudo apt-get install libvirt-dev

    $ git clone git://github.com/hooklift/node-libvirt.git

    $ cd node-libvirt

    $ npm install OR ( node-gyp configure && node-gyp build )
