Building the Podman client on macOS

The following describes the process for building the Podman client on macOS.

Install brew

Podman requires brew -- a package manager for macOS. This will allow additional packages to be installed that are needed by Podman. See the brew project page for installation instructions.

Install build dependencies

Podman requires some software from brew to be able to build. This can be done using brew from a macOS terminal:

$ brew install go go-md2man

Obtain Podman source code

You can obtain the latest source code for Podman from its github repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/containers/podman go/src/github.com/containers/podman

Build client

After completing the preparatory steps of obtaining the Podman source code and installing its dependencies, the client can now be built.

$ cd go/src/github.com/containers/podman
$ make podman-remote
$ mv bin/darwin/podman bin/podman

The binary will be located in bin/

$ ls -l bin/

If you would like to build the docs associated with Podman on macOS:

$ make podman-remote-darwin-docs
$ ls docs/build/remote/darwin

To install and view these manpages:

$ cp -a docs/build/remote/darwin/* /usr/share/man/man1
$ man podman

Using the client

To learn how to use the Podman client, refer to its tutorial.
