Hello Adil,

I already responded to you about running arm64 avocado-vt tests in 
private, let me share excerpt of my script to setup avocado which I use 
(not only) on arm:

```
AVOCADO_PATH=${AVOCADO_PATH:-"/home/jenkins/avocado"}
AVOCADO_DATA_PATH=${AVOCADO_DATA_PATH:-"/var/lib/libvirt/images/avocado"}
AVOCADO_VT_PATH=${AVOCADO_VT_PATH:-"$AVOCADO_PATH/../avocado-vt"}
ISOS_PATH=${ISOS_PATH:-"/home/isos"}
QEMU=${QEMU:-"/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm"}
# Some architectures requires additional tweaks
ARCH=`uname -m`
if [[ "$ARCH" =~ "ppc64" ]]; then
     ARCH="ppc64"
     MACHINE="pseries"
elif [ "$ARCH" == "aarch64" ]; then
     ARCH="arm64"
     MACHINE="aarch64"
fi

# Prerequisites + python-pip
yum install -y PyYAML tcpdump genisoimage python-requests libvirt-python 
python-sphinx libvirt-devel gstreamer-python gdb gdb-gdbserver 
python-imaging bridge-utils git python-devel
yum install -y cryptsetup libseccomp libffi-devel

if ! [ -x "$(command -v pip)" ]; then
     cd /tmp
     wget 
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-7.0.tar.gz 
--no-check-certificate
     tar xzf setuptools-7.0.tar.gz
     cd setuptools-7.0
     python setup.py install
     wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
     python get-pip.py
fi

```

It's RHEL specific but it should be easy to modify it for your needs. 
The python dependencies comes from PIP as EPEL is not supported on arm.

Kind regards,
Lukáš
