System requirements

  • 256 MB RAM (512 is more optimal)
  • x86_64 Processor supporting x86_64-v2 instructions including SSE4.2
    • For QEMU/KVM use -cpu host or at least -cpu Nehalem see this page
  • 2 or more CPU cores recommended
  • I/O APIC
  • ATA, NVMe or AHCI disk (AHCI strongly recommended)

For QEMU run with:
qemu-system-x86_64 Lemon.img --enable-kvm -cpu host -M q35 -smp 2 -m 1G -netdev user,id=net0 -device e1000,netdev=net0 -device ac97
KVM is strongly recommended
