To install virt-viewer from a terminal enter:
sudo apt install virt-viewer
Once a virtual machine is installed and running you can connect to the virtual machine's console by using:
virt-viewer web_devel
Similar to virt-manager, virt-viewer can connect to a remote host using SSH with key authentication, as well:
virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://virtnode1.mydomain.com/system web_devel
Be sure to replace web_devel with the appropriate virtual machine name.
If configured to use a bridged network interface you can also setup SSH access to the virtual machine.
