# qemu-debootstrap(1)

QEMU debootstrap wrapper

## NAME

qemu-debootstrap - QEMU debootstrap wrapper

## SYNOPSIS

**qemu-debootstrap** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **qemu-debootstrap** wrapper calls  [**debootstrap**(8)](/debootstrap/8.md) making use of the --foreign and --second-stage options, and copies the appropriate  [**qemu-user-static**(1)](/qemu-user-static/1.md) binary into place in order to install cross-architecture chroots. In order for it to work seamlessly, the binfmt-support package must be installed.

## SEE ALSO

[**debootstrap**(8)](/debootstrap/8.md), [**qemu-user-static**(1)](/qemu-user-static/1.md).
