## What it is
A Homebrew tap providing formulae to install virt-manager and virt-viewer on macOS. Most formulae have been merged into homebrew-core, leaving only virt-viewer here.

## Use cases
- install virt-viewer on macos with homebrew
- manage kvm vms from a mac
- remote-view virtual machine consoles on osx
- install virt-manager dependencies via homebrew

## When to choose
- you need virt-viewer on macOS and homebrew-core lacks it
- you want a GUI/remote viewer for libvirt VMs from a Mac

## When to avoid
- you need virt-manager itself, now available in homebrew-core
- you are on Linux or Windows

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: package-manager, cli
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: homebrew, virt-manager, virt-viewer, homebrew-tap, kvm-gui, virtualization, command-line, macos
