How to run your own OrcaNode

Open a terminal on your Ubuntu system and Update the package list to ensure you have the latest information about available packages:

# Ubuntu 20.10 and newer
sudo apt-get update

Install Podman using the following command:

# Ubuntu 20.10 and newer
sudo apt-get install podman -y

After the installation is complete, Verify the installation by checking the Podman version:

podman --version

Initialize podman machine named orca to configure Podman to work with your user account without requiring root privileges. This is called the “rootless” mode, which enhances security:

podman machine init orca

Start podman machine named orca

Enabling Virtualization:

1. To verify, Virtualization status can be checke using the following command
   sudo dmesg | grep kvm
   The output will look like: kvm: disabled by bios if the setting is disabled
   
2. Then, run following command to enable it
   sudo modprobe kvm-intel
   if it is also keep giving the following error - could not insert 'kvm_intel': Operation not supported
   
3. You have to go in the BIOS and enable Virtualization manually.

podman machine start orca

podman machine ls

After completing these steps, you should have Podman successfully installed on your Ubuntu system.

Keep in mind that software and repositories can change over time, so you might want to check the official Podman documentation
