add user to the libvirtd

I installed java 11 and I am trying to install kvm. I followed the instructions as given on the official ubuntu website.

I finished up installing the tool and then as it mentioned on the website that we need to add the user to the libvirtd group. But the terminal is saying that this group(libvirtd) doesn't exist. I tried this ubuntu question too

Group 'libvirtd' does not exist while installing QEMU-KVM

But there is no satisfactory answer for ubuntu versions 14 and later. How do I add my username to the group.

The output of

sudo grep libvirt /etc/group

is

libvirt:x:129:nik7
libvirt-qemu:x:64055:libvirt-qemu
libvirt-dnsmasq:x:130:
