Installing Spice on RHEL or Fedora

Be aware that RHEL has no builds of qemu/spice-server for i386, only x86_64 builds are available.

RHEL >=6 and Fedora >=13

yum install qemu-kvm virt-viewer

The package spice-protocol will be downloaded automatically as a dependency of package kvm.

RHEVM Users

oVirt/RHEVM users could be also interested in the spice-xpi package as it allows you to execute spice-client directly from the oVirt/RHEVM UserPortal.

yum install spice-xpi
