qtrvsim only emulates a subset of the riscv32 architecture. It seems to 
be an educational package.

If you want to ease the installation for your students, you should 
consider publishing the software as a snap in the Snap Store (see 
https://snapcraft.io/docs/snapcraft-overview). This will allow running 
the same application on all Linux distributions that support snaps 
(Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, ...).
