## NAME
podman\-machine\-create - Create a new virtual machine
## SYNOPSIS
**podman machine create** [*options*] *name*
## DESCRIPTION
Creates a new 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.
**podman machine create** creates a new Linux virtual machine where containers are run.
## OPTIONS
#### **--cpus**=*number*
Number of CPUs.
#### **--memory**, **-m**=*number*
Memory (in MB).
#### **--kernel-path**=*path*
Print usage statement.
#### **--device**=_device_[**:**_permissions_]
Add a device to the virtual machine. Optional *permissions* parameter
can be used to specify device permissions. **ro** means the device is read-only.
Example: **--device=/dev/xvdc:ro**.
#### **--help**
Print usage statement.
## EXAMPLES
```
$ podman machine create myvm
$ podman machine create --device=/dev/xvdc:rw myvm
$ podman machine create --memory=1024 myvm
```
