In Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

sudo yum install libguestfs-tools
On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools
Open a disk image:

guestfish --ro -i -a disk.img
Other distros, compiling from source ..."


So on Ubunu Server 14:

~:% sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools

I'm thinking this might be better?
~:% sudo apt-get install --no-recommends libguestfs-tools
