### Install software
Now we can install any software and programming languages we want to make available
in the virtual machine. Use the `dnf search` or `zypper se` command or your distribution's documentation
to find packages. I will soon make available a script to install all package necessary for all
languages supported by PBot.
To make use of VM sockets, install the `socat` package:
Fedora:
guest$ dnf install socat
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
guest$ zypper in socat
For the C programming language you will need at least these:
Fedora:
guest$ dnf install libubsan libasan gdb gcc clang
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
guest$ zypper in libubsan1 libasan8 gdb gcc clang
Install packages for other languages as desired.
### Install Perl
Now we need to install Perl on the guest. This allows us to run the PBot VM Guest server
script.
Fedora:
guest$ dnf install perl-interpreter perl-lib perl-IPC-Run perl-JSON-XS perl-English perl-IPC-Shareable
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
guest$ zypper in perl-IPC-Run perl-JSON-XS make gcc
guest$ cpan i IPC::Shareable
This installs the minium packages for the Perl interpreter (note we used `perl-interpreter` instead of `perl`),
as well as a few Perl modules.
