How do I install the qemu command?
I type qemu and press tab and I get a list of several binaries installed.
qemu-alpha qemu-arm ... qemu-x86_64 but no qemu.
I type man qemu and it returns the docs as if the command is already installed.
I type qemu to run the command but it doesn't exist?
No command 'qemu' found, did you mean: Command 'qtemu' from package 'qtemu' (universe) Command 'aqemu' from package 'aqemu' (universe) qemu: command not found But after installing sudo apt-get install qtemu aqemu I'm still unable to run qemu.
I'm just attempting to run the following command qemu -localtime -net user -net nic -m 256 -cdrom minix.iso -hda minix.img -boot d, for a minix tutorial.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just replace qemu with qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-x86_64 as appropriate (whether you want a 32-bit or 64-bit system, and which ISO you're using).
You can also use aqemu, which is a graphical (GUI) front-end to qemu.
On Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) I have installed the qemu-system package with:
sudo apt-get install qemu-system Inside the package it includes:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-cris /usr/bin/qemu-system-mips64 /usr/bin/qemu-system-mipsel /usr/bin/qemu-system-sparc /usr/bin/qemu-system-sparc64 /usr/bin/qemu-system-sh4 /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc /usr/bin/qemu-system-m68k /usr/bin/qemu-system-arm /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppcemb /usr/bin/qemu-system-sh4eb /usr/bin/qemu-system-microblaze /usr/bin/qemu-system-mips64el /usr/bin/qemu-system-mips I have executed an ISO image in an i386 machine with:
qemu-system-i386 -net user -cdrom my_iso.iso In synaptic package manager you can look for qemu-system package and install it. It will install the binaries for all supported architectures.
In /usr/bin, there is not qemu, but you can use qemu-system-x86_64,qemu-system-arm , etc.
You can write:
qemu-system-x86_64 -localtime -net user -net nic -m 256 -cdrom minix.iso -hda minix.img -boot d But if you need to use qemu, create a link to qemu-system-x86_64 in ~/bin/qemu.
