Install GuestOS and create a Virtual Machine. This example shows to install Future OS 1.
[1] Install GuestOS to text mode over the network, connect remotely with the console or other applications. In addition, the images of the virtual machine are placed as a storage pool by default in [/var/lib/libvirt/images], but this example shows creating and using a new storage pool.
# create a Storage Pool directory
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir -p /var/kvm/images
[root@localhost ~]# curl https://pkgs.futurelinux.org/future/1/images/cloud/Future-1-x64.qcow2 -o /var/kvm/images/Future-1-x64.qcow2

[2] Move to GuestOS to HostOS with Ctrl + AltGR + ] key. Move to HostOS to GuestOS with a command [virsh --connect qemu:///system console (name of virtual machine)].
[root@futurelinux ~]# # Ctrl + AltGR + ] key
[root@localhost ~]# # Host's console
[root@localhost ~]# virsh --connect qemu:///system console future-1-x64
# move to Guest

[3] It's easy to create another VM to copy from current VM with a command below.
[root@localhost ~]# virt-clone --connect qemu:///system --original future-1-x64 --name template --file /var/kvm/images/template.img
