Install virt-manager, qemu and all dependencies


From terminal:

user $ sudo pacman -S --needed virt-manager qemu-desktop libvirt edk2-ovmf dnsmasq iptables-nft COPY TO CLIPBOARD


For TPM support:

user $ sudo pacman -S --asdeps swtpm COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Enable and start service

user $ sudo systemctl enable libvirtd.service COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Add user to libvirt, libvirt-qemu and kvm groups to use the system-level virtual machines (qemu:///system).

user $ sudo usermod -a -G libvirt,libvirt-qemu,kvm $USER COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Note that you will need to restart userspace for the groups to become active. To restart userspace

user $ systemctl soft-reboot COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Note
  1. You don't need this step to run system-level virtual machines. However, virt-manager will prompt for sudoer's password when launch if the user is not in the libvirt group
  2. You can also create user-level virtual machines (qemu:///session) and use without sudoer's privelige. However, some features such as VirtioFS file sharing may be unavailable in qemu:///session
