Notice that all we did was that we just removed the -cdrom option and its argument.
Now that the android system is fully installed in your android.img file, you should use the following QEMU command to start it instead of the previous one: sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -boot d -enable-kvm -smp 3 -net nic -net user -hda android.img
For explaination of other options we are using here, you may refer to this article.Īfter you run the above command, the android system will start:įrom this window, choose “Advanced options”, which should lead to the following menu, from which you should choose “Auto_installation” as follows:Īfter that, the installer will just tell you about whether you want to continue or not, choose Yes:Īnd the installation will carry on without any further instructions from you:įinally you’ll receive this message, which indicates that you have successfully installed android 8.1:įor now, just close the QEMU window completely. Replace /home/mhsabbagh/android-x86_ with the path of the file that you downloaded from the android x86 website. Now, to start running the android system for the first time, run: sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -boot d -enable-kvm -smp 3 -net nic -net user -hda android.img -cdrom /home/mhsabbagh/android-x86_ Here we are saying that we want to allocate a maximum of 15GB for android, but you can change it to any size you want (make sure it’s at least bigger than 5GB). All android files and system will be inside that image file: qemu-img create -f qcow2 android.img 15G To install QEMU on Fedora: sudo dnf install qemu qemu-kvmįor other distributions, just search for the qemu and qemu-kvm packages and install them.Īfter you have installed QEMU, we’ll need to run the following command to create the android.img file, which will be like some sort of an allocated disk space just for the android system. If you are on Ubuntu 18.10, you need to install different packages: sudo apt install qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients To install QEMU on Ubuntu(16.04 & 18.04)/Linux Mint/Debian: sudo apt-get install qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-bin QEMU is a very good emulator software, which is also free and open source, and is available in all the major Linux distributions repositories. We are going to use QEMU to run android x86 on our Linux system. You can download it from this page, just click on the “View” button under the android-x86_ file.
