= Creating virtual machines
The installation of Fedora guests using Anaconda is supported. The installation can be started on the command-line using the `virt-install` program or in the user interface program `virt-manager`.

== Creating a guest with virt-install
`virt-install` is a command-line based tool for creating virtualized guests. Refer to http://virt-tools.org/learning/install-with-command-line/ for understanding how to use this tool. Execute `virt-install --help` for command line help.
`virt-install` can use kickstart files, for example, `virt-install -x ks=kickstart-file-name.ks`.
If graphics were enabled, a VNC window will open and present the graphical installer. If graphics were not enabled, a text installer will appear. Proceed with the Fedora installation.
