% podman-machine-init(1)
## NAME
podman\-machine\-init - Initialize a new virtual machine
## SYNOPSIS
**podman machine init** [*options*] [*name*]
## DESCRIPTION
Initialize 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 init** initializes a new Linux virtual machine where containers are run.
SSH keys are automatically generated to access the VM, and system connections to the root account
and a user account inside the VM are added.
## OPTIONS
#### **--cpus**=*number*
Number of CPUs.
#### **--disk-size**=*number*
Size of the disk for the guest VM in GB.
#### **--ignition-path**
Fully qualified path of the ignition file.
If an ignition file is provided, the file
will be copied into the user's CONF_DIR and renamed. Additionally, no SSH keys will
be generated nor will a system connection be made. It is assumed that the user will
do these things manually or handle otherwise.
#### **--image-path**
Fully qualified path or URL to the VM image.
Can also be set to `testing` or `stable` to pull down default image.
Defaults to `testing`.
#### **--memory**, **-m**=*number*
Memory (in MB).
#### **--help**
Print usage statement.
## EXAMPLES
```
$ podman machine init myvm
$ podman machine init --device=/dev/xvdc:rw myvm
$ podman machine init --memory=1024 myvm
```
