See the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation

In short:

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils
sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd
sudo adduser `id -un` kvm

Then log out and back in again, and check that it is working by running:

virsh -c qemu:///system list
