Lima (Linux virtual machines, on macOS) installation guide for M1 Mac.

Sep. 27th 2021 UPDATED

Now we can install patched version of QEMU via Homebrew (thank you everyone for the info!). Here is the updated instruction with it:

Used M1 Mac mini 2020 with macOS Big Sur Version 11.6.

1. Install QEMU & Lima

Or: “Everybody likes being given a glass of water.”

By Merlin Mann.

It's only advice for you because it had to be advice for me.

	# Summary
	A few notes I took to see if I could use MacOS as Hypevirsor in a similar fashion to Linux
	I wanted to see how few addons were needed instead of using Parallels, Virtual Box, VM Fsion etc.
	The idea is to use QEMU, Hypervisor Framework (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor) and some custom host networking.

	# Installations
	brew install qemu (For controlling Hypervisor Framework)
	brew install cdrtools (For making cloud init iso's)
	http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/download.xhtml (For customer tap based networking)

	#!/bin/sh
	set -e

	## SEE https://medium.com/@ebuschini/iptables-and-docker-95e2496f0b45

	## You need to add rules in DOCKER-BLOCK AND INPUT for traffic that does not go to a container.
	## You only need to add one rule if the traffic goes to the container

	CWD=$(cd "$(dirname "${0}")"; pwd -P)
	FILE="${CWD}/$(basename "${0}")"

	#load apple health export.xml file
	xml <- xmlParse("C:\\Users\\praskry\\Desktop\\apple_health_data\\export.xml")

	#transform xml file to data frame - select the Record rows from the xml file
	df <- XML:::xmlAttrsToDataFrame(xml["//Record"])

	#!/bin/bash

	# Sync Homebrew installations between Macs via Dropbox

	BREW="/usr/local/bin/brew"

	# first get local settings
	echo "Reading local settings ..."
	rm -f /tmp/brew-sync.*

	(require 'cl-lib)
	;; Depends on s.el

	(defun direnv-data (dir)
	;; TODO: use dir for folder or smart current-project-dir variable
	(let ((cmd (concat "$SHELL -i -c '" "cd " dir " && direnv export bash'")))

	# Updated 2017-10-25:
	# - Defaults to large size (512)
	# - If ImageMagick is installed:
	# - rounds the corners (copped from @bradjasper, https://github.com/bradjasper/Download-iTunes-Icon/blob/master/itunesicon.rb)
	# - replace original with rounded version, converting to png if necessary
	#
	# Retrieve an iOS app icon at the highest available resolution

	-- This example is meant as a simple starting point to show how to get the information in the simplest available way.
	-- Keep in mind that when asking for a `return` after another, only the first one will be output.
	-- This method is as good as its JXA counterpart.

	-- Webkit variants include "Safari", "Webkit", "Orion".
	-- Specific editions are valid, including "Safari Technology Preview".
	-- "Safari" Example:
	tell application "Safari" to return name of front document
