Here's how to install KATA 6.0 Ubuntu edition in KVM environment - https://support.kaspersky.ru/KATA/6.0/en-US/265697.htm

In the example below we use RHEL 9.3, installed as VM in VMware Workstation Pro 17.0

Step-by-step guide

• First, you have to install QEMU/KVM , all steps are described HERE
• Then install from Software application Virtual Machine Manager, here it's 4.1.0 version.

• After successful installation just open up Virtual Machine Manager application, and click on the icon "Create a new virtual machine"

• Assuming, you have KATA Ubuntu ISO locally in OS, choose option below and click "Forward"

• Click "Browse" and "Forward"

• Click "Browse Local"

• Locate KATA Ubuntu ISO and click "Open"

• Next, do the steps as shown on picture below

• Click "Yes"

• Assign resources to VM according to THIS article (ignore our settings below, it's just a demo) and click "Forward"

• Configure a disk (ignore our settings below, it's just a demo) and click "Forward" 

• Name your VM, select a network and click "Finish"

• Now you should see installation window, proceed like you usually do with standard KATA installation on VMware

• In this window select ONLY "single", cause KVM supports only this type of installation

• Select a disk and click "OK"

• Wait a bit and you should see that installation starts, and now you just have to wait for next step of installation/configuration

• Now select subnets (usually use default ones) by pressing Enter

• Choose network > assign IP (static or dhcp, in our example we use dhcp) > set password length and password itself > configure DNS servers 

• Choose if you want capture traffic via SPAN (y or n) > configure NTP servers 

• That's it, KATA installed

• Now you can login to web UI and configure server, in our example IP of server is 192.168.122.47, let's login to https://192.168.122.47:8443

        and voila  "Configure" and wait for completion
