+# Using podman-machine on MacOS (x86_64 and Apple silicon)
+
+## Setup
+
+You must obtain a compressed tarball that contains the following:
+* a qcow image
+* a podman binary
+* a gvproxy binary
+
+You must also have installed brew prior to following this process. See https://brew.sh/ for
+installation instructions.
+
+Note: If your user has admin rights, you can ignore the use of `sudo` in these instructions.
+
+
+1. Install qemu from brew to obtain the required runtime dependencies.
+
+ ```
+ brew install qemu
+ ```
+
+2. If you are running MacOS on the Intel architecture, you can skip to step 8.
+3. Uninstall the brew package
+
+ ```
+ brew uninstall qemu
+ ```
+
+4. Get upstream qemu source code.
+
+ ```
+ git clone https://github.com/qemu/qemu
+ ```
+
+5. Apply patches that have not been merged into upstream qemu.
+
+ ```
+ cd qemu
+ git config user.name "YOUR_NAME"
+ git config user.email johndoe@example.com
+ git checkout v5.2.0
+ curl https://patchwork.kernel.org/series/418581/mbox/ | git am --exclude=MAINTAINERS
+ curl -L https://gist.github.com/citruz/9896cd6fb63288ac95f81716756cb9aa/raw/2d613e9a003b28dfe688f33055706d3873025a40/xcode-12-4.patch | git apply -
+ ```
+
+6. Install qemu build dependencies
+
+ ```
+ brew install libffi gettext pkg-config autoconf automake pixman ninja make
+ ```
+
+7. Configure, compile, and install qemu
+ ```
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ ../configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --disable-gnutls
+ gmake -j8
+ sudo gmake install
+ ```
+
+
+8. Uncompress and place provided binaries into filesystem
+
+ **Note**: In the following instructions, you need to know the name of the compressed file
+that you were given. It will be used in two of the steps below.
+
+ ```
+ cd ~
+ tar xvf `compressed_file_ending_in_xz`
+ sudo cp -v `unpacked_directory`/{gvproxy,podman} /usr/local/bin
+ ```
+
+9. Sign all binaries
+
+ If you have a Mac with Apple Silicon, issue the following command:
+ ```
+ sudo codesign --entitlements ~/qemu/accel/hvf/entitlements.plist --force -s - /usr/local/bin/qemu-* /usr/local/bin/gvproxy /usr/local/bin/podman
+ ```
+
+ If you have a Mac with an Intel processor, issue the following command:
+
+ ```
+ echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+ <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
+ <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.hypervisor</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>
+ ' > ~/entitlements.plist
+ sudo codesign --entitlements ~/entitlements.plist --force -s - /usr/local/bin/qemu-* /usr/local/bin/gvproxy /usr/local/bin/podman
+ ```
+
+
+## Test podman
+
+1. podman machine init --image-path /path/to/image
+2. podman machine start
+3. podman images
+4. git clone http://github.com/baude/alpine_nginx && cd alpine_nginx
+5. podman build -t alpine_nginx .
+4. podman run -dt -p 9999:80 alpine_nginx
+5. curl http://localhost:9999
