first of all thank you so much for this great tool ! i trying podman for the very first time on Mac using podman-machine !

here is a small issue that could be imrpoved:

podman-machine create suggested I should run 

To see how to connect your Podman client to Podman server running on this virtual machine, run: 
podman-machine env p1

which will cause this error : 

Error: error creating libpod runtime: dial unix /run/podman/io.podman: connect: no such file or directory

but infact to make it work I had to run this

eval $(podman-machine env p1 --varlink)

Glad you like it!

The podman upstream environment variables have changed a bit over time. The old ones were supposed to still work (thought I tested them), but I guess we could default to car link bridge if the straight address is not working anymore...

When it says "run", it really means "run this command, and do what it says (depending on shell)"

sh

# Run this command to configure your shell: 
# eval $(podman-machine env p1 --varlink)

csh

: Run this command to configure your shell: 
: eval `podman-machine env p1 --varlink`

Whether it is eval or something else, actually depends on the user's shell. So the help is correct.
