Introduction
Quickemu is a wrapper for the excellent QEMU that automatically "does the right thing" when creating
virtual machines. No requirement for exhaustive configuration options. You decide what operating system
you want to run and Quickemu takes care of the rest 🤖
• quickget automatically downloads the upstream OS and creates the configuration 📀
• quickemu enumerates your hardware and launches the virtual machine with the optimum configuration best
suited to your computer ⚡️
The original objective of the project was to https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-
Linux-virtual-machines enable quick testing of Linux distributions where the virtual machines and their
configuration can be stored anywhere (such as external USB storage or your home directory) and no
elevated permissions are required to run the virtual machines.
Today, Quickemu includes comprehensive support for https://github.com/quickemu-
project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines macOS, https://github.com/quickemu-
project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines Windows, most of the BSDs, novel non-Linux
operating systems such as FreeDOS, Haiku, KolibriOS, OpenIndiana, ReactOS, and more.

Custom Linux guestsOr you can download a Linux image and manually create a VM configuration.
• Download a .iso image of a Linux distribution
• Create a VM configuration file; for example debian-bullseye.conf
guest_os="linux"
disk_img="debian-bullseye/disk.qcow2"
iso="debian-bullseye/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso"
• Use quickemu to start the virtual machine:
quickemu --vm debian-bullseye.conf
• Complete the installation as normal.
• Post-install:
• Install the SPICE agent (spice-vdagent) in the guest to enable copy/paste and USB redirection.
• Install the SPICE WebDAV agent (spice-webdavd) in the guest to enable file sharing.
Supporting old Linux distros
If you want to run an old Linux , from 2016 or earlier, change the guest_os to linux_old. This will
enable the vmware-svga graphics driver which is better supported on older distros.
Creating macOS Guests 🍏 Installing macOS in a VM can be a bit finicky, if you encounter problems, check
the Discussions for solutions or ask for help there 🛟
quickget automatically downloads a macOS recovery image and creates a virtual machine configuration.
quickget macos big-sur
quickemu --vm macos-big-sur.conf
macOS mojave, catalina, big-sur, monterey, ventura and sonoma are supported.
• Use cursor keys and enter key to select the macOS Base System
• From macOS Utilities
• Click Disk Utility and Continue
• Select QEMU HARDDISK Media (~103.08GB) from the list (on Big Sur and above use Apple Inc. VirtIO
Block Device) and click Erase.
• Enter a Name: for the disk
• If you are installing macOS Mojave or later (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma),
choose any of the APFS options as the filesystem. MacOS Extended may not work.
• Click Erase.
• Click Done.
• Close Disk Utility
• From macOS Utilities
• Click Reinstall macOS and Continue
• Complete the installation as you normally would.
• On the first reboot use cursor keys and enter key to select macOS Installer
• On the subsequent reboots use cursor keys and enter key to select the disk you named
• Once you have finished installing macOS you will be presented with an the out-of-the-box first-start
wizard to configure various options and set up your username and password
• OPTIONAL: After you have concluded the out-of-the-box wizard, you may want to enable the TRIM feature
that the computer industry created for SSD disks. This feature in our macOS installation will allow
QuickEmu to compact (shrink) your macOS disk image whenever you delete files inside the Virtual
Machine. Without this step your macOS disk image will only ever get larger and will not shrink even
when you delete lots of data inside macOS.
• To enable TRIM, open the Terminal application and type the following command followed by pressing
enter to tell macos to use the TRIM command on the hard disk when files are deleted:
sudo trimforce enable
You will be prompted to enter your account's password to gain the privilege needed. Once you've entered
your password and pressed enter the command will request confirmation in the form of two questions that
require you to type y (for a "yes" response) followed by enter to confirm.
If you press enter without first typing y the system will consider that a negative response as though you
said "no":
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This tool force-enables TRIM for all relevant attached devices, even though such devices may not have been validated for data integrity while using TRIM. Use of this tool to enable TRIM may result in unintended data loss or data corruption. It should not be used in a commercial operating environment or with important data. Before using this tool, you should back up all of your data and regularly back up data while TRIM is enabled. This tool is provided on an "as is" basis. APPLE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THIS TOOL OR ITS USE ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH YOUR DEVICES, SYSTEMS, OR SERVICES. BY USING THIS TOOL TO ENABLE TRIM, YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, USE OF THE TOOL IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY AND EFFORT IS WITH YOU.
Are you sure you with to proceed (y/N)?
And a second confirmation once you've confirmed the previous one:
Your system will immediately reboot when this is complete.
Is this OK (y/N)?
As the last message states, your system will automatically reboot as soon as the command completes.
The default macOS configuration looks like this:
guest_os="macos"
img="macos- big-sur/RecoveryImage.img"
disk_img="macos- big-sur/disk.qcow2"
macos_release=" big-sur"
• guest_os="macos" instructs Quickemu to optimise for macOS.
• macos_release=" big-sur" instructs Quickemu to optimise for a particular macOS release.
• For example VirtIO Network and Memory Ballooning are available in Big Sur and newer, but not previous
releases.
• And VirtIO Block Media (disks) are supported/stable in Catalina and newer.
macOS compatibility
There are some considerations when running macOS via Quickemu.
• Supported macOS releases:
• Mojave
• Catalina
• Big Sur
• Monterey
• Ventura
• Sonoma
• quickemu will automatically download the required OpenCore bootloader and OVMF firmware from OSX-KVM.
• Optimised by default, but no GPU acceleration is available.
• Host CPU vendor is detected and guest CPU is optimised accordingly.
• VirtIO Block Media is used for the system disk where supported.
• VirtIO usb-tablet is used for the mouse.
• VirtIO Network (virtio-net) is supported and enabled on macOS Big Sur and newer, but earlier releases
use vmxnet3.
• VirtIO Memory Ballooning is supported and enabled on macOS Big Sur and newer but disabled for other
support macOS releases.
• USB host and SPICE pass-through is:
• UHCI (USB 2.0) on macOS Catalina and earlier.
• XHCI (USB 3.0) on macOS Big Sur and newer.
• Display resolution can be changed via quickemu using --width and --height command line arguments.
• Full Duplex audio requires VoodooHDA OC or pass-through a USB audio-device to the macOS guest VM.
• NOTE! Gatekeeper and
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection
System Integrity Protection (SIP) need to be disabled to install VoodooHDA OC
• File sharing between guest and host is available via virtio-9p and SPICE webdavd.
• Copy/paste via SPICE agent is not available on macOS.
macOS App Store
If you see "Your device or computer could not be verified" when you try to login to the App Store, make
sure that your wired ethernet device is en0. Use ifconfig in a terminal to verify this.
If the wired ethernet device is not en0, then then go to System Preferences -> Network, delete all the
network devices and apply the changes. Next, open a terminal and run the following:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Now reboot, and the App Store should work.
There may be further advice and information about macOS guests in the project https://github.com/quicke‐
mu-project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines#automatically-create- macos-guests wiki.
Creating Windows guests 🪟 quickget can download Windows 10 and Windows 11 automatically and create an
optimised virtual machine configuration. This configuration also includes the VirtIO drivers for
Windows.
Windows 8.1 is also supported but doesn't feature any automated installation or driver optimisation.
quickget can also download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-10-enterprise
Windows 10 LTSC and Windows Server https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-
server-2012-r2 2012-r2, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2016 2016,
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2019 2019, and
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2022 2022. No automated installation
is supported for these releases.
quickget windows 11
quickemu --vm windows-11.conf
• Complete the installation as you normally would.
• All relevant drivers and services should be installed automatically.
• A local administrator user account is automatically created, with these credentials:
• Username: Quickemu
• Password: quickemu
