You can check what architecture your system has by executing this: $ uname -mĪs you can see, in our system it return arm64. $ qemu-system-aarch64 -versionĬopyright (c) 2003-2022 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers We are very happy with this latest version of Apple Silicon processors, if you’re looking for a new good laptop for development click on the link below.Ĭoming back to our main topic, having an ARM64 architecture system means that we should run the following and see something like what’s shown below as the output. This chip belongs to the category of ARM processors family, therefore the architecture of our machine is AArch64 or ARM64. In our case we are running a MacBook using Apple M1 Pro chip.

The executable you should use will depend on what system are you currently running on. Once you have finished the installation on your local machine, you can double check the version using the qemu executable installed. If you need help to install or use Homebrew, please read our article “How to Use Homebrew in Mac (OSX)”. The first step is to install QEMU, we are going to use Homebrew to install it on our machine. This is normally quite useful if you need to have a Linux distribution running for any reason, like learning or testing. In this article we will show you how to run Ubuntu on Mac using QEMU, a machine emulator and virtualiser.
