Debian/AlmaLinux/Fedora image filenames, URLs, and checksums were hardcoded to arm64/aarch64 (for Apple Silicon macOS), which would silently download the wrong-architecture image on an Intel/amd64 host. Detect the architecture from the host (uname -m), normalized to arm64/amd64, with VM_IMAGE_ARCH as an override; the run-*.sh scripts in the parent repo use the same override so both stay in sync. amd64 keeps the previously pinned checksums; arm64 checksums are still unpinned pending upstream publication. windows11 is unaffected: it stays x86_64-only, matching run-windows11.sh.

vm-images
Shared, locally cached virtual-machine installation media and base images. Downloaded ISO, QCOW2, IMG, VHD, and VHDX files are intentionally excluded from Git.
Download images
Download every supported image:
./download-images.sh
Download or check selected targets:
./download-images.sh debian13
./download-images.sh almalinux10
./download-images.sh fedora44
./download-images.sh virtio-win
The Windows installation ISO is not downloaded because Microsoft's temporary
download URLs expire. Supply it manually at the path reported by
./download-images.sh --print-path windows11 --iso.
Query image paths
The path interface prints one absolute path without downloading anything:
./download-images.sh --print-path debian13
./download-images.sh --print-path almalinux10
./download-images.sh --print-path fedora44
./download-images.sh --print-path virtio-win
./download-images.sh --print-path windows11
./download-images.sh --print-path windows11 --iso
The Windows target prints the QCOW2 path by default. Add --iso to print its
manually supplied installation ISO path.
Download URLs can be overridden with DEBIAN_IMAGE_URL, ALMA_IMAGE_URL,
FEDORA_IMAGE_URL, and VIRTIO_WIN_ISO_URL. The Fedora checksum can be
overridden with FEDORA_IMAGE_SHA256 when using a custom image.
