Requirements

• Hypervisor: at least one of
  • [Linux] QEMU 2.0 or later
  • [Linux] Xen 4.5 or later (for Xen support)

Install

the current version supports the following Linux distros:

• Ubuntu ( > 14.04 )
• CentOS/RHEL 7.x
• Fedora ( > 20 )
• Debian ( > 7.0 )

curl-to-bash or tarball

To setup Hyper, simply run (after 0.4, the same package support both KVM and Xen)

curl -sSL https://hypercontainer.io/install | bash

Don't like the "curl to bash" methods? Download tarball here.

For CentOS/RHEL users, please use the pre-build RPMs

If you build Qemu from source, don't forget enable virtfs (--enable-virtfs) during configuration.
