Quick Setup VM

Easily deploy Bliss OS running in QEMU VMs.

  • Bypass bootloader and installer
  • Conveniently change kernel parameters.
  • Get access to a root shell in the guest using qemu serial console

System requirements

  • A Linux x86_64 host with a recent version of QEMU and virglrenderer installed
  • Atleast 2GB of available memory to allocate to the VM.

Downloading the script

Terminal window
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xtr126/androidx86-installer-qemu-linux/refs/heads/main/install.sh" -qgb "" -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o install.sh

As with any other script downloaded from the Internet it is recommended to check what it does before executing. To initialize a Android x86 VM in specified directory with a disk image of 8 GB, run:

Terminal window
sudo bash install.sh -s 8 -i /path/to/BlissOS-v14.iso -d ~/Documents/bliss-14.10

Follow the instructions output on stdout by the script.
The QEMU command to start the VM will be written to start_android.sh in the target directory.
