Homebrew, -bash: qemu: command not found OSX El Capitan

Issue

I'm trying to install qemu on my mac. I used Homebrew, and it seems like it has been successfully installed.

🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/qemu/2.6.0: 123 files, 127.4M

But when I try to use it I have:

-bash: qemu: command not found

The output of ls /usr/local/Cellar/qemu/2.6.0/bin is:

I now now that the problem is that the qemu file is missing. I still wonder why and how to fix it

Thank you in advance.

Solution

Erm... QEMU doesn't have any binary called qemu. Instead, you may use any qemu-system-xxxx binary to virtualize that system.

The documentation (when to use each system and stuff) is available at: http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation

So, the formulaes names don't necessarily match the binary names. I suppose you know that, but I mention it just in case.

Feel free to keep sharing any problem you have with us!
