How do I create a standalone VM?

The reason why I want a standalone VM is to be able to use the Local WP (wordpress site developer) app. The app just doesn’t work in a qube.

To state it explicitly, in the guide I did install LocalWP on both Debian and Fedora. But the guide has general feedback so it should help on installing other applications from a .deb or .rpm.
