How to Install Podman on CentOS 8

Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System. 

Some of the advantages of podman over docker for managing your linux containers are:
1. Podman is daemonless
2. Podman is fully compatible with docker, thus can run docker images without any modification even from docker.io
3. Most podman commands can be run as a regular user, without requiring additional privileges. 
4. Used by Redhat in latest openshift container platform

To install podman on CentOS 8, just run below command

# dnf install podman -y
or 

# yum install -y podman

Once installed, check podman version to ensure podman has been installed successfully
# podman --version
