[http://dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/ Whonix] ([https://www.whonix.org/ clearnet link]) can be installed on POWER using KVM.  These instructions were tested with Whonix 16.

#REDIRECT [[Kicksecure and Whonix]]
 
 
== Both Whonix-Gateway and Whonix-Workstation ==
 
 
 
Download Whonix from the [http://dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/KVM#Download_Whonix_.E2.84.A2 Whonix KVM download page] ([https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM#Download_Whonix_.E2.84.A2 clearnet link]).
 
 
 
Extract it:
 
 
 
tar -xvf Whonix*.libvirt.xz
 
 
 
Install the Whonix virtual networks:
 
 
 
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-define Whonix_external*.xml
 
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-define Whonix_internal*.xml
 
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-autostart Whonix-External
 
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-start Whonix-External
 
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-autostart Whonix-Internal
 
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-start Whonix-Internal
 
 
 
Then, create two Debian Bullseye ppc64el VM's.  When installing Debian, do not create a separate root password, name the user <code>user</code>, and for desktop environment either pick XFCE or do not install one.  Launch a shell in each VM, and follow the below instructions for each VM.
 
 
 
Import the Whonix/Kicksecure signing key ([http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/Kicksecure/Debian#Add_the_Whonix_.E2.84.A2_Signing_Key source]) ([https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Kicksecure/Debian#Add_the_Whonix_.E2.84.A2_Signing_Key clearnet]):
 
 
 
sudo apt-get update
 
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends curl gpg gpg-agent
 
<nowiki>curl --tlsv1.3 --proto =https --max-time 180 --output ~/patrick.asc https://www.whonix.org/patrick.asc</nowiki>
 
sudo cp ~/patrick.asc /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/derivative.asc
 
 
 
Initialize the <code>console</code> group ([http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/Kicksecure/Debian#Prerequisites source]) ([https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Kicksecure/Debian#Prerequisites clearnet]):
 
 
 
sudo addgroup --system console
 
sudo adduser user console
 
 
 
Add the Whonix/Kicksecure package repository ([http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/Kicksecure/Debian#Add_the_Whonix_.E2.84.A2_Repository source]) ([https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Kicksecure/Debian#Add_the_Whonix_.E2.84.A2_Repository clearnet]):
 
 
 
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-tor
 
<nowiki>echo "deb tor+http://deb.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion bullseye main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/derivative.list</nowiki>
 
sudo apt-get update
 
 
 
Note: As of 2021 September 10, there are bugs in the <code>security-misc</code> package in the Whonix <code>bullseye</code> suite, which break ppc64el support.  These bugs were fixed by <code>security-misc</code> version <code>3:22.7-1</code>.  Until the fixes make their way to the <code>bullseye</code> suite, you can get the fixes early by substituting <code>bullseye-developers</code> for <code>bullseye</code> in the <code>derivative.list</code> line above.
 
 
 
Upgrade Linux to 5.14 or higher; a bug was fixed between Linux 5.10 and Linux 5.14 that broke ppc64le support in Whonix.  As of 2021 September 10, this means using the Debian Experimental suite ([http://jvgypgbnfyvfopg5msp6nwr2sl2fd6xmnguq35n7rfkw3yungjn2i4yd.onion/ source]) ([https://onion.debian.org/ clearnet]):
 
 
 
<nowiki>echo "deb tor+http://2s4yqjx5ul6okpp3f2gaunr2syex5jgbfpfvhxxbbjwnrsvbk5v3qbid.onion/debian experimental main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list</nowiki>
 
sudo apt-get update
 
sudo apt-get -t experimental install linux-image-powerpc64le
 
 
 
== Whonix-Gateway ==
 
 
 
Run one of the following, depending on whether you want the Whonix-Gateway to use XFCE or CLI-only:
 
 
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends non-qubes-whonix-gateway-xfce
 
 
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends non-qubes-whonix-gateway-cli
 
 
 
If you get a package conflict error that mentions <code>console-common</code>, run the following and then try again:
 
 
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends console-common
 
 
 
If you get prompted with questions during package installation, you can choose the defaults.
 
 
 
The Whonix packages will install their own <code>sources.list</code> data in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list</code>, which means you should delete the <code>sources.list</code> that Debian came with (in order to avoid warnings from <code>apt-get</code> about duplicated repos):
 
 
 
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list
 
 
 
Shut off the VM.
 
 
 
Set the VM's NIC to use the <code>Whonix-External</code> Network source.
 
 
 
Add a 2nd NIC to the VM, and set it to use the <code>Whonix-Internal</code> Network source.
 
 
 
Launch the VM again; Whonix-Gateway should be running.
 
 
 
If you get errors about the Tor service failing to start, this is probably an AppArmor issue.  You can fix it by running the following:
 
 
 
sudo touch /etc/apparmor.d/local/system_tor.anondist
 
 
 
Restart the VM again and Tor should work.
 
 
 
== Whonix-Workstation ==
 
 
 
Run one of the following, depending on whether you want the Whonix-Workstation to use XFCE or CLI-only:
 
 
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends non-qubes-whonix-workstation-xfce
 
 
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends non-qubes-whonix-workstation-cli
 
 
 
If you get a package conflict error that mentions <code>console-common</code>, run the following and then try again:
 
 
 
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends console-common
 
 
 
If you get prompted with questions during package installation, you can choose the defaults.
 
 
 
The Whonix packages will install their own <code>sources.list</code> data in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list</code>, which means you should delete the <code>sources.list</code> that Debian came with (in order to avoid warnings from <code>apt-get</code> about duplicated repos):
 
 
 
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list
 
 
 
Shut off the VM.
 
 
 
Set the VM's NIC to use the <code>Whonix-Internal</code> Network source.
 
 
 
Launch the VM again; Whonix-Workstation should be running.
 
 
 
== Known Issues ==
 
 
 
See [[Kicksecure#Known_Issues|Kicksecure known issues]].
 
 
 
No Whonix-specific known issues.
