## Builting and testing HermitCore as classical standalone unikernel
HermitCore applications can be directly started as standalone kernel within a virtual machine.
In this case, [iRCCE](http://www.lfbs.rwth-aachen.de/publications/files/iRCCE.pdf) is not supported.
Please register the loader the same way as done for the multi-kernel version of HermitCore (see Step 4 in [*Building and testing HermitCore on a real machine*](#building-and-testing-hermitcore-on-a-real-machine)).
Please build HermitCore and register the loader in the same way as done for the multi-kernel version (see [*Building and testing HermitCore on a real machine*](#building-and-testing-hermitcore-on-a-real-machine)).
If the environment variable `HERMIT_ISLE` is set to `qemu`, the application will be started within a VM.
Please note that the loader requires QEMU and uses per default *KVM*.
Furthermore, it expects that the executable is called `qemu-system-x86_64`.
