Build from source
Daemon and CLI client:
Clone hyper in GoPath
cd ${GOPATH}/src mkdir -p github.com/hyperhq cd github.com/hyperhq git clone https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperd.git
And make sure you have go (>= 1.5, 1.7 or later is recommended) and autotools, develop files of libdevmapper, libsqlite3, libvirt-devel then
cd hyperd ./autogen.sh ./configure make
(If you want to build without Xen support, use configure option --without-xen.)
Then you can get the binaries hyperd daemon and hyperctl CLI tool.
Build Xen from source
Download Xen 4.5.0 or later version, and configure with the following option
./configure --with-extra-qemuu-configure-args="--enable-virtfs"
Guest Kernel and Initrd
Clone hyperstart
git clone https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperstart.git hyperstart
And build with autotools
./autogen.sh ./configure make
Then you can find hyper-initrd.img in build directory, together with a pre-build kernel. You can also find the kernel_config in the repo.
Build Qemu
Hyperd could work with vanilla qemu 2.0 or newer, however, we provided our branch with some patches from hyper:
If you build Qemu from source, don't forget enable virtfs (--enable-virtfs) during configuration.
Build Your Own Kernel
You can reference the Hyper kernel configuration.
You can find related configuration items in the config file.
