Install virt-manager as the client of KVM

I wrote an article to install virt-manager into Debian Jessie for KVM host. Today's article is the description to install virt-manager into Debian Jessie but this is not KVM host, for operating KVM via remote accessing on virt-manager.
Virt-manager to access remote KVM requires ssh-askpass, so the install step is below.

  1. apt-get update
  2. apt-get install ssh-askpass
  3. apt-get virt-manager

There might be any libraries or packages required when accessing remote KVM, but installing above packages are sufficient to access KVM server in my environment. But, I would like to install virt-manager in my Mac environment instead of Linux. Homebrew seems to have virt-manager but something broken in my Mac Homebrew and doesn't work... I will investigate later why Homebrew doesn't work.
