Follow I have my sequence of steps to create an environment to run Birt Report Designer

(Only for MacOS - M1 Chip)

1) Install UTM, that is a front end to QEMU --> https://mac.getutm.app/

2) Install XQuartz

After install and configure ssh server you can use

ssh -X -P 3022 [email protected]

to run programs

3) Download Ubuntu ISO --> https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ubuntu-20-04

In my case I download a x86 image

4) Create a VM with the following configuration

The VM is VERY slow because it is using emulation instead of virtualization.

* System
** Architecture: x86_64
** System: Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9,2009) (alias of pc-q35-7.0) (q35)
** Memory: 2048
** CPU: Enable all features supported by the accelerator in the current host (max)
** CPU Cores: 4
** Force Multicore: Enabled

* QEMU
** UEFI Boot: disable

* Network
** Network Mode: Emulated VLAN
** Emulated Network Card: rtl8139
** Port Forwarding: 10.0.2.15:22 -> 127.0.0.1:3022

* Sound: Disabled

Save

5) Install Ubuntu on VM

6) After install

sudo apt update

sudo apt install openssh-server
