+ Installing libvirt
+====================
+
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+- `Install`_ and `configure`_ a Ceph Storage Cluster
+- `Install and configure`_ QEMU/KVM
+
+
+Installing ``libvirt`` on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise
+==============================================
+
+``libvirt`` packages are incorporated into the Ubuntu 12.04 precise 
+distribution. To install ``libvirt`` on precise, execute the following:: 
+
+	sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
+
+
+Installing ``libvirt`` on Earlier Versions of Ubuntu
+====================================================
+
+For Ubuntu distributions 11.10 oneiric and earlier, you must build  ``libvirt``
+from source. Clone the ``libvirt`` repository, and use `AutoGen`_ to generate
+the build. Then, execute ``make`` and ``make install`` to complete the
+installation. For example::
+
+	git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git
+	cd libvirt
+	./autogen.sh
+	make
+	sudo make install 
+
+See `libvirt Installation`_ for details.
