Install Security Director Insights With KVM virt-manager

 

You can install and launch Security Director Insights with the KVM virt-manager GUI package.

Before you begin, you must ensure:

  • You have already installed KVM, qemu, virt-manager, and libvirt on your host OS.

  • You have created a bridge network to access KVM through SSH.
