# Install a hypervisor
When setting up Kata using a [packaged installation method](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/tree/master/install#installing-on-a-linux-system), the `qemu-lite` hypervisor is installed automatically. For other installation methods, you will need to manually install a suitable hypervisor.
## Build a custom QEMU
To build a version of QEMU using the same options as the default `qemu-lite` version , you could use the `configure-hypervisor.sh` script:
```
$ go get -d github.com/kata-containers/packaging
$ cd $your_qemu_directory
$ ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/kata-containers/packaging/scripts/configure-hypervisor.sh qemu > kata.cfg
$ eval ./configure "$(cat kata.cfg)"
$ make -j $(nproc)
$ sudo -E make install
```
### Build a custom QEMU for aarch64/arm64 - REQUIRED
> **Note:**
>
> - You should only do this step if you are on aarch64/arm64.
> - You should include [Eric Auger's latest PCDIMM/NVDIMM patches](https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10647305/) which are
> under upstream review for supporting nvdimm on aarch64.
>
You could build the custom `qemu-system-aarch64` as required with the following command:
```
$ go get -d github.com/kata-containers/tests
$ script -fec 'sudo -E ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/kata-containers/tests/.ci/install_qemu.sh'
```
