I'm trying to install KVM for avd of android studio and I ran this command:

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils ia32-libs-multiarch

But on running it gives me this error:

Unable to locate package ia32-libs-multiarch

I tried resolving it using this command but that also didn't work:

sudo apt-get install librtmp0 librtmp0:i386

I'm running a 64-bit machine with ubuntu 14.04

Is what I'm doing the required steps for 32-bit???

Answer

I've gotten the same error Unable to locate package ia32-libs-multiarch

Then I decided to trust Ubuntu KVM Installation help page and tried it out.

Actually there is only one difference. The command doesn't include ia32-libs-multiarch part.

Outcome is successful.

$ kvm-ok
