{{Note|See [[Quick installation]] if you are looking to install the current stable version of OpenVZ.}}

This document briefly describes the steps needed to install Virtuozzo Linux distribution on your machine.

There are a few ways to install Virtuozzo:

=== Bare-metal installation ===

OpenVZ project builds its own Linux distribution with both hypervisor and container virtualization.
It is based on our own Linux distribution, with the additions of [[Download/kernel/rhel7-testing|our custom kernel]], OpenVZ management utilities, [[QEMU]] and Virtuozzo installer. It is highly recommended to use OpenVZ containers and virtual machines with this Virtuozzo installation image. See [[Virtuozzo]].

=== Using Virtuozzo in the Vagrant box ===

[https://www.vagrantup.com/ Vagrant] is a tool for creating reproducible and portable development environments.
It is easy to run environment with Virtuozzo using Vagrant:

* Download and [https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/ install Vagrant]
* Download and install [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Virtualbox], VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation
* Download [https://atlas.hashicorp.com/OpenVZ/boxes/Virtuozzo-7.0 Virtuozzo box]:

$ vagrant init OpenVZ/Virtuozzo-7.0

* Run box:

$ vagrant up --provider virtualbox

and in case of VMware hypervisor:

$ vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop

and in case of Parallels hypervisor:

$ vagrant up --provider parallels

* Attach to console:

$ vagrant ssh

* Use ''vagrant/vagrant'' to login inside box

=== Using Virtuozzo in the Amazon EC2 ===

Follow steps in [[Using Virtuozzo in the Amazon EC2]].

=== Setup on pre-installed Linux distribution ===

{{Note|Pay attention, this installation method currently blocked by broken network after installation - {{OVZ|6454}}.}}

Alternatively, one can install OpenVZ on a pre-installed RPM based Linux distribution.
Supported Linux distributions: Cloud Linux 7.*, CentOS 7.*, Scientific Linux 7.* etc

Follow step-by-step instruction below:

Package ''virtuozzo-release'' will bring meta information and YUM repositories:

# yum localinstall http://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/7.0/x86_64/os/Packages/v/virtuozzo-release-7.0.0-10.vz7.x86_64.rpm

EPEL is a requisite:

# yum install -y epel-release

Then install mandatory Virtuozzo RPM packages:

# yum install -y prlctl prl-disp-service vzkernel

See OpenVZ [[Packages]] available in various Linux distributions.

=== OpenVZ with upstream Linux kernel ===

See article [[OpenVZ with upstream kernel]] if you want more details about support of upstream kernel.
