ACRN Installation via Debian Packages
|
|
#####################################
|
|
|
|
Debian packages provide a simple way to package ACRN configurations on
|
|
a development computer. You can then copy the packages onto your target system,
|
|
install the packages, and reboot the system with ACRN and an Ubuntu Service VM
|
|
up and running.
|
|
|
|
ACRN does not distribute pre-built Debian packages for the hypervisor or kernel
|
|
because ACRN and the kernel are configured based on your specific hardware and
|
|
scenario configurations, as described in the :ref:`overview_dev`. Instead after
|
|
configuring ACRN to your needs, Debian packages are created when you build your
|
|
ACRN hypervisor and ACRN kernel via ``Makefile`` commands.
|
|
|
|
All the configuration files and scripts used by the Makefile to build the Debian
|
|
packages are in the ``misc/packaging`` folder. The ``gen_acrn_deb.py`` script
|
|
does all the work to build the Debian packages so you can copy and install them
|
|
on your target system.
|
|
|
|
For build and installation steps, see :ref:`gsg_build` in the Getting Started
|
|
Guide.
