I can't say whether this is because of copy-paste error or you have
non-braking spaces in there, but this has nothing to do with
virt-install/libvirt, etc.  You somehow managed to enter the command
into your shell as one string.  Try typing it by hand without
copy-pasting and splitting it into multiple lines.
