Basic Install

For starters, if you just want to run virt-manager/virt-install to test out changes, it can be done from the source directory:

./virt-manager

To install the software into /usr/local (usually), you can do:

./setup.py install

To build an RPM, you can run:

./setup.py rpm

setup.py generally has all the build and install commands, for more info see:
