The --location option takes a path to an ISO image. You have extra stuff after the ISO path.
Hi,
virt-install --help Use '--option=?' or '--option help' to see available suboptions See man page for examples and full option syntax.
# virt-install --option help usage: virt-install --name NAME --memory MB STORAGE INSTALL [options] virt-install: error: unrecognized arguments: --option help #
# virt-install --option=? usage: virt-install --name NAME --memory MB STORAGE INSTALL [options] virt-install: error: unrecognized arguments: --option=? #
# virt-install -help --option=? usage: virt-install --name NAME --memory MB STORAGE INSTALL [options] virt-install: error: argument -h/--help: ignored explicit argument 'elp' #
I need help to Use '--option=?' or '--option help' to see available suboptions. Any examples? I am getting the above error. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Kaushal

Hello
See the man page https://linux.die.net/man/1/virt-install
In location you must pass only the ISO file, you are passing parameters that virt-install uses as file name as it warns you:
'/var/lib/libvirt/isos/ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso,kernel=casper/vmlinuz,initrd=casper/initrd'
That's the file is trying to open, and obviously, don't exists.
Best

Kaushal,
You keep asking questions here, but I haven't seen you thank anyone so far. All the people trying to help you here do this in their own time, and don't get paid for it. You would do well to show some gratitude.
Coming to your issue. You want to work with Linux, but you're not even prepared to do some basic reading of the manual pages, as suggested by several people.
The problem you have described below is caused by your misusage of the virt-install command. You could have easily come across the solution by doing a simple Google search of the error message. There are several places where this question has been answered.
There's nothing wrong in asking for help. But if you expect others to do your work for you, then you're asking for too much. If you're lucky, some kind souls might even go that far and spoon-feed you the answer, but I certainly would not.
