This is the "fixed appliance", a pre-built binary appliance for
libguestfs.  This was built using libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance.

Unpack the appliance directory:

  tar -Jxvf appliance-<VERSION>.tar.xz

Then copy all four files:

 * kernel
 * initrd
 * root
 * README.fixed

into a directory somewhere, eg. /usr/local/lib/guestfs/appliance/

Then build libguestfs (>= 1.16.7 or >= 1.17.10) from source, disabling
the normal appliance and daemon:

  ./configure --disable-appliance --disable-daemon
  make
  sudo make install

Set LIBGUESTFS_PATH to the path where you unpacked these files, eg:

  export LIBGUESTFS_PATH=/usr/local/lib/guestfs/appliance/

and run the libguestfs programs and virt tools in the normal way.
