2.4. Installing the SPICE plug-in for Mozilla Firefox on Linux

The SPICE plug-in is required to run the remote-viewer application, which opens a graphical console for connecting to virtual machines. remote-viewer is a SPICE client which is provided by the virt-viewer package available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux channels.
  1. Open a terminal and run the following command as root:
    # yum install spice-xpi
    
  2. Check that the virt-viewer package has already been installed on your system.
    # rpm -q virt-viewer
    virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6_4.2.x86_64
    
    If it has not been installed, run the following command as root:
    # yum install virt-viewer
    
  3. Restart Mozilla Firefox for your changes to take effect.
  4. The SPICE plug-in is now installed. You can now connect to your virtual machines using SPICE.
