Tips: If you already have qemu-system-x86_64, please ignore below info. If you want to install qemu v7.1.0 version: git clone https://github.com/qemu/qemu.git cd qemu git checkout -f v7.1.0 mkdir build cd build yum install -y ninja-build.x86_64 ../configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vnc --enable-gtk --enable-sdl make make install Thanks!
