## Quick start
[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.
```shell
quickget nixos unstable
```
- `quickemu` starts the virtual machine using the configuration file created by `quickget`.
```shell
quickemu --vm nixos-unstable.conf
```
- Execute `quickget` (with no arguments) to see a list of all the supported operating systems.
## Documentation
The wiki describes how to quickly get up and running with `quickemu` and also covers more advanced configuration and usage.
