podman-machine-start(1)	    General Commands Manual    podman-machine-start(1)

NAME
       podman-machine-start - Start a virtual machine

SYNOPSIS
       podman machine start [name]

DESCRIPTION
       Starts a	virtual	machine	for Podman.

       Rootless	only.

       Podman on MacOS and Windows 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. Podman ma-
       chine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines,	but can	be op-
       tionally	used on	Linux.

       The default machine name	is podman-machine-default. If a	 machine  name
       is  not	specified  as an argument, then	podman-machine-default will be
       started.

       Only one	Podman managed VM can be active	at a time. If a	VM is  already
       running,	podman machine start returns an	error.

       podman  machine	start  starts a	Linux virtual machine where containers
       are run.

   --quiet, -q
