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
       machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally 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.
