$ curl -L -output /usr/local/bin/podman-machine At the time of this writing, the latest release was v0.16: Start by downloading the latest podman-machine binary. The guide also assumes you have VirtualBox already installed.
My instructions are based on the official ones here. You have the option of compiling additional driver support for hypervisors like xhyve, but I would recommend VirtualBox as it seems to work more smoothly. The developers released two VM flavors: an in-memory Tiny Core and a Fedora version. Podman-machine starts a virtual machine that already streamlines the Podman, Buildah, and skopeo packages. Look no further: Podman-machine has somewhat solved this problem. While it is simple enough to install Red Hat CodeReady Containers, what I really needed was a way to run Buildah, Podman, and skopeo on macOS without having to water and feed a Linux VM. My daily laptop is a MacBook Pro, which is great unless you want to dual boot into Linux and develop on containers.
