The following describes the process for building the Podman client on macOS.
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
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
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-darwin
$ mv bin/podman-remote-darwin 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 install-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
