telvm – Get prompts on virtual machines (including Windows)

WARNING Telvm is work in progress.

Telvm gets you prompts on QEMU virtual machines from your Unix terminal. In particular it has support for building and getting prompts on Windows via Windows Validation OS.

Ultimately it is just a managed $XDG_DATA_DIR/telvm directory, a not so well informed oracle for QEMU invocations and a bit of ISO file munging.

Telvm is distributed unders the ISC license.

Installation

telvm can be installed with opam:

opam install telvm

If you don't use opam consult the opam file for build instructions.

You also need an install of qemu and for the Windows support of curl, unzip and cabextract.

brew install qemu cabextract       # brew 
apt install qemu-system cabextract # debian

Additionally depending on the platform the following tools are needed:

• MacOS, hdiutil (system provided).
• Linux, parted, losetup, mkfs.exfat and mkfs.fat.

Quick start

Documentation

The documentation can be consulted online or via odig doc telvm.

Questions are welcome but better asked on the OCaml forum than on the issue tracker.
