Unable to start PCF Dev (cf dev start) on Ubuntu because of missing KVM


Trying to start PCF Dev on an Ubuntu 19.10; fails with the bellow output:

$ cf dev start

Solution

  • Turns out KVM is required to be installed:

    $ sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils
