= Creating a virtual machine
You can create a virtual machine by using the {op-system-base-full} boot ISO image.
.Prerequisites
* You created the Kickstart file.
* You installed the {oc-first}.
* You have `redhat` credentials.
.Procedure
. Download the {op-system-base-full} boot ISO image from the link:https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download[Download Red{nbsp}Hat Enterprise Linux].
. Copy the downloaded file to the `/var/lib/libvirt/images` directory.
. Configure the VMNAME environment variable with your value by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ VMNAME=microshift-{product-version}-bootc
----
. Configure the NETNAME environment variable with your value by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ NETNAME=default
----
. Create a {op-system-base} virtual machine with 2 cores, 2GB of RAM and 20GB of storage by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ sudo virt-install \
--name ${VMNAME} \
--vcpus 2 \
--memory 2048 \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/${VMNAME}.qcow2,size=20 \
--network network=${NETNAME},model=virtio \
--events on_reboot=restart \
--location /var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel-{op-system-version}-$(uname -m)-boot.iso \
--initrd-inject kickstart.ks \
--extra-args "inst.ks=file://kickstart.ks" \
--wait
----
+
[NOTE]
====
The `sudo virt-install` command uses the Kickstart file to pull a bootc image from the remote registry and install the {op-system-base} operating system.
====
. Log in to the virtual machine by using your `redhat` credentials.
.Verification
. Verify that all of the {microshift-short} pods are running without error by entering the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ watch sudo oc get pods -A \
--kubeconfig /var/lib/microshift/resources/kubeadmin/kubeconfig
----
