I would like to look into IncludeOS and run their hello world. I am on Ubuntu and did install the required dependencies. The program exits with an error. What am I doing wrong here?
apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev git cmake clang-6.0 gcc nasm make qemu
pip3 install setuptools wheel conan psutil jsonschema
conan config install https://github.com/includeos/conan_config.git
I followed the installation instructions and used the clang-6.0-linux-x86_64 profile, as is recommended for Linux. The profiles are listed here
git clone https://github.com/includeos/hello_world.git
mkdir your_build_dir && cd "$_"
conan install ../hello_world -pr <your_conan_profile>
source activate.sh
cmake ../hello_world
cmake --build .
boot hello
The program crashes when calling it with the boot command.
The output (some paths altered) when calling boot hello -dv (verbose, debug)

After some work I found the answer: Hardware virtualization was disabled on my machine. I solved it by using this solution.
...such a stupid mistake!
