Title: Create metadata folder earlier

libvirt will not allow you to create the domain if you follow the steps in the proposed order because the metadata directory is absent upon creation. Add instructions to create this folder beforehand to avoid a libvirt error.

In the worst case, we create the folder early, but in my experience (on multiple machines), libvirt has not allowed me to create the domain without the metadata directory existing.
