Description
now it uses /tmp
my mac is struggling with space, so to have multiple instances of the large file does not help that. So if the /tmp/ could be replaced with a variable and the final step (copy to desktop) skipped / skippable
May create a PR to fix this.

Research direction
Inspect the repository's shell script for the hard-coded /tmp/ path and the final copy-to-desktop step. Make the temporary location configurable and the desktop copy skippable, then verify that the VM workflow still completes with both the default and customized options.
