A set of [homebrew][homebrew] formulae to install [virt-manager][virt-manager] and [virt-viewer][virt-viewer] on Mac OSX.

brew tap Striker2k18/homebrew-virt-manager-virt-viewer
brew install virt-manager virt-viewer
virt-manager -c test:///default

When connecting to remote URIs, you probably need to override the libvirt socket location, see [www.jedi.be][jedi].

virt-manager -c 'qemu+ssh://user@libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'
virt-viewer -c 'qemu+ssh://user@libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'

This formula for virt-manager does not include the openssh-askpass dependency and does not prompt for passwords in a popup window. Here are two workarounds:

1. Run virt-manager with either the --debug or --no-fork option to get password prompt via the CLI.

2. Set up SSH keys between your local and remote system to avoid the prompt.

I've not yet tested virt-manager against any local URIs/hypervisors. If you get virt-manager working with a local hypervisor and needed to take any special steps, feel free to share the details.
