 [Phyllome OS](https://wiki.phyllo.me/phyllomeos/context) uses the [kickstart installation method](https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#chapter-1-introduction) to deploy itself to a specific target computer or virtual machine by means of kickstart files.
 
+Provided that some dependencies are met (`libvirt` is running on your computer, QEMU is installed, etc), one could run the following script to deploy virtual machines, including Phyllome OS itself.
+
+- Make the script executable:
+
+```
+chmod +x deploy-vm.sh

+- Execute it and pick `virtual-desktop-hypervisor` when prompted:
