# Virtual Machine Manager

`virt-manager` is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines

via [libvirt](https://libvirt.org). Most usage is with QEMU/KVM

virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well

supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

 - `virt-install`: Create new libvirt virtual machines

 - `virt-clone`: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines

 - `virt-xml`: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the

[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) file. If you just want to quickly test the

code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

```sh

./virt-manager --debug ...

```
