Installation
Host requirements
Section titled “Host requirements”Use a Linux x86-64 machine with a graphical session. QEMU starts the guest; Antinomie opens a native desktop window. KVM hardware acceleration is strongly recommended. Software emulation with TCG is available when KVM cannot be used.
| Requirement | Used for |
|---|---|
| qemu-system-x86_64 | Running virtual machines |
| qemu-img | Creating and managing VM disk overlays |
| QEMU GTK display backend | Opening the guest display |
| curl | Downloading bases and optional tools |
| virt-customize | Provisioning Debian guest accounts |
| bwrap (bubblewrap) | Running static analysis in a sandbox |
| Access to /dev/kvm | Hardware-accelerated guests |
On Debian or Ubuntu, install the runtime packages:
sudo apt updatesudo apt install qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils qemu-system-gui \ curl libguestfs-tools bubblewrapThis installs host packages, not Antinomie itself. Building kernels or guest images has additional requirements; downloading a published base avoids that build.
Install an existing release archive
Section titled “Install an existing release archive”Application distribution is managed separately from this public website. If you already have the 0.3.0 Linux x86-64 archive and its SHA256SUMS file, place them in the same directory and verify the archive:
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMStar -xzf antinomie-0.3.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gzOpen the extracted release directory, then run:
./install.shantinomieThe installer creates a per-user command and desktop menu entry. You can also run ./antinomie-monitor directly from the extracted directory. Rust is not required to run the release binary.
Keep the archive’s README and license notices with the release. Verify the version with antinomie –version or Help → About Antinomie.
Check dependencies
Section titled “Check dependencies”Antinomie checks runtime requirements at startup. If something is missing, Tools → App dependencies names the affected actions and package commands. After installing a package, select Check again.
For a terminal report:
antinomie --check-dependenciesA missing requirement blocks the actions that need it. Saved recordings remain available. Optional analysis tools have their own dialog.
Data and removal
Section titled “Data and removal”The default application data directory is ~/antinomie. It contains installed bases, persistent VM disks and recordings. To choose another directory, launch with –data-dir /path/to/your/data.
From the extracted release directory, ./install.sh –uninstall removes the installed command and menu entry. Application data remains.
