Sudo apt install -y libguestfs-tools wimtools In addition, it uses executables from the wimtools package, where WIM stands for Windows IMage. It uses libguestfs-tools which provides the utility hivexregedit. In addition, distrobuilder, although it is a snap package, it has the classic confinement, which means that it uses packages from the host. Once you perform the repack, you may switch distrobuilder to the stable channel with sudo snap refresh distrobuilder -stable for the typical use of the tool.

The prerequisite is that you have LXD configured and running. The content of this tutorial came from Look towards the end of the thread where Stéphane Graber describes how to simplify the process compared to the instructions at the top of that thread.

In this post, we see how to run Windows in a LXD virtual machine. However, virtual machines can run other operating systems. System containers are lightweight because they are based solely on the Linux kernel for their virtualization features, and support Linux guests only. LXD is a hypervisor to run both system containers (a la LXC) and virtual machines (a la QEMU) on Linux distributions. Now, the stable version of distrobuilder is able to repack-windows and you do not need use the version from the edge channel. Update 27th April 2021: The post has been updated and rechecked.
