can we clone whonix as OS?

i was thinking for a good/easy way to install/downalod whonix from command line.

can we clone whonix from github and run it inside the virtual-X machine (virtualbox or kvm) ?

cloned files r mostly repositories if im not mistaken , but there r also tools i can have it witha cloning command. hmm not sure but is this going to work with whonix ?

if we cant for example clone whonix and have it as .ova from the cloning command , can we have whonix as files from github then we convert it to .ova or .X after that ?

Are you trying to download the images from the command line?

sudo apt-get install tor
torsocks wget -c http://mirror.whonix.de/12.0.0.3.2/Whonix-Gateway-12.0.0.3.2.ova
torsocks wget -c https://www.whonix.org/download/12.0.0.3.2/Whonix-Gateway-12.0.0.3.2.ova.asc
gpg --verify Whonix-Gateway-12.0.0.3.2.ova.asc

Or build Whonix from within an existing VM? Like doing a bare-metal install (per physical isolation) on a VM? No idea if that works.

Or build Whonix images from source?

fantastic , i almost forgot these commands. i wonder if we add them to the table of downloads would a useful thing.
