QEMU setup instructions

[bhargavdas]

I followed the quick start to setup and test runltp-ng using QEMU but faced the error.

bhargav@ubuntu:~/LTP-ng/runltp-ng (master)$ ./runltp-ng --verbose --setup --install=master --repouri=/mnt/ltp --backend=qemu:ram=4G:smp=4:image=/local/vm.qcow2:virtfs=/local:password=123

I'm not much familiar with QEMU, what am I missing here ? @metan-ucw

This just says that it failed to execute the qemu-system-x86_64 binary because it couldn't be found.

Do you have qemu installed properly? What architecture is this?
