## NAME
|
|
podman\-machine\-start - Start a virtual machine
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
**podman machine start** [*name*]
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Starts a virtual machine for Podman.
|
|
|
|
Podman on MacOS requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux -
|
|
containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are
|
|
tied to the Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
Only one Podman managed VM can be active at a time. If a VM is already running,
|
|
`podman machine start` will return an error.
|
|
|
|
**podman machine start** starts a Linux virtual machine where containers are run.
