The original objective of the project was to [enable quick testing of
Linux distributions](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-Linux-virtual-machines) where the virtual machine
configurations can be stored anywhere (such as external USB storage or
your home directory) and no elevated permissions are required to run the
virtual machines.

[Once Quickemu is
installed](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/01-Installation),
there are two simple steps to create and run a virtual machine:
- `quickget` automatically downloads the ISO image for the operating system you want to run and creates a configuration file for the virtual machine.
- `quickget` automatically downloads the ISO image for the operating
system you want to run and creates a configuration file for the
virtual machine.
```shell
``` shell
quickget nixos unstable
```
- `quickemu` starts the virtual machine using the configuration file created by `quickget`.

created by `quickget`.
