Installation guide

Installing felix86 is easiest done with the installation script. Simply paste this into a terminal and press Enter.

bash <(curl -s https://install.felix86.com)

This script will guide you through choosing a felix86 version and a rootfs.

If you only need to install a rootfs, use the rootfs installer script by itself:

bash <(curl -s https://install.felix86.com/rootfs.sh)

Tip

Install the rootfs in a path accessible by root, such as the default /opt/felix86/rootfs. Installing the rootfs in the home directory may lead to problems.

Example

Both scripts are hosted via GitHub Pages and their source code is available at https://github.com/felix86-emu/install

Consult the usage guide for further info.

For manual installation, see the building instructions.

If you want to build your own rootfs, see the rootfs section in building instructions.
