## Installation
Installation is extremely easy:
Installation is straightforward — build package, copy to dom0,
install in dom0. Here are step by step instructions:
* Prepare an RPM with the `make rpm` command on the local
directory of your clone. This creates a file
* Install the `rpm-build` package on your build machine
with `sudo dnf install rpm-build`. Remember that if your
build machine is an AppVM or any other sort of VM that boots
from a template, you may want to run that `dnf` command on the
template, rather than the build machine, and then power off
the template, followed by rebooting the build machine.
* Clone the repository for this program to your build machine.
* In your build machine, prepare an RPM with the `make rpm`
command on the local directory of your clone. This creates a file
`qubes-network-server-*-noarch.rpm` on that directory.
* Copy the prepared RPM to the dom0 of your Qubes OS
machine.
* Copy the prepared RPM to the dom0 of your Qubes OS machine.
* Install the RPM in the dom0 with
`rpm -ivh <RPM file name you just copied>`.
* Restart Qubes Manager, if it is running.
(Right-click on its notification icon, select *Exit*, then
relaunch it from the *System* menu.)
* Restart Qubes Manager, if it is running: right-click on its
notification icon, select *Exit*, then relaunch it from the

a VM to the dom0. To work around this, you can use `qvm-run`:

This lets you fetch the RPM file to the dom0, and save it as `qns.rpm`,
which you can then feed to the `rpm -ivh` command.
which you can then feed as an argument to the `rpm -ivh` command.
