The procedure for installing VMs on MacOS is similar to the standard processes, although some flags have to be changed when running on M1:
1. remove the `--virt-type kvm` flag as this is not supported, it will fallback to `qemu` hypervisor
2. remove the `--cpu host` flag and add `--arch x86_64` to `virt-install` in order to run an `x86_64` system (this might depends on the architecture you want to emulate)
Follow instructions below, editing commands as required.
