          Gnome-boxes cannot be installed on 12.04.



          GNOME boxes has not been packaged due to dependency problems. If you want to try out the boxes, try compiling from the source.



          For 12.10 and newer it can be installed by simply typing:



          sudo apt-get install gnome-boxes


          If you are looking to use a newer version, you can consider installing it from the source tarballs.



          Do take note that GNOME boxes is still very much in development.

            First install gnome-boxes and the required dependencies libvirt-bin and qemu-kvm
            sudo apt install libvirt-bin qemu-kvm gnome-boxes



            Then add yourself to the kvm group
            sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER



            Then allow kvm group to run commands and edit the qemu.conf file
            sudo sed -i -e 's/#group = "root"/group=kvm/g' /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
