Installation

The Bash scripts cnest and create-cnest are independent small scripts of about 70 and 100 lines, respectively. You can use them as-is or as examples for creating your own scripts calling podman.

Regardless, the quickest way to follow this guide and its tutorials is to install cnest and create-cnest on your system. Once you have create-cnest and cnest installed on your machine, you're ready to start a simple tutorial on how to use them.

Install option 1: Just copy the Bash scripts

The cnest and create-cnest scripts are simple enough that you can copy them from this Git repository to your ~/bin directory (or a comparable location).

If you want Bash auto-completion, you need to run the script completion/cnest. Alternatively, you can opt for installing the RPM, which will automatically set up Bash completion.

Install option 2: Install the RPM package

If you use RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora, you can:

dnf copr enable castedo/cnest
dnf install cnest

Please email Castedo if you start using cnest or create-cnest and want backward compatibility maintained.
