To get the most out of this book

In this book, we will guide you through the installation and use of Podman 3 or later, and its companion tools, Buildah and Skopeo. The default Linux distribution used in the book is Fedora Linux 34 or later but any other Linux distribution can be used. All commands and code examples have been tested using Fedora 34 or 35 and Podman 3 or 4, but they should work also with future version releases.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the commands yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section).

Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
