I tried both virt-manager and Gnome Boxes but I’m having issues with both of them.

Gnome Boxes works mostly fine but I can’t seem to get files from the host to the guest. It says that the guest is supposed to have some special software but I’m trying to use Windows XP and I can’t seem to figure out how to get the required software because the website doesn’t work in internet explorer and I obviously can’t just download it from the host and transfer it over.

For virt-manager, it’s giving me an error message about not being able to connect to "libvirt qemu:///system" and it wont let me install a virtual machine. I’m assuming that I’m supposed to download “libvirtd”, but I can’t figure out how to install it. I think it wants me to build it from the source but there doesn’t seem to be a guide on how to do that.
