+# Running backplane-cli on macOS Apple Silicon
+
+The `ocm backplane console` command runs the console container locally using the same container image as the logged-in cluster, which is typically built for Linux/amd64. For better compatibility and performance on macOS with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3), you should configure Podman to use `Rosetta` instead of `QEMU` for x86_64 emulation.
+
+## Steps to Configure Podman with Rosetta
+
+### 1. Update Podman
+
+Ensure you have the latest version of Podman installed:
+
+```bash
+brew upgrade podman
+```
+
+Alternatively, download the latest installer from [podman.io](https://podman.io/).
+
+### 2. Configure Rosetta Support
+
+Edit `~/.config/containers/containers.conf` to specify the provider and enable Rosetta:
+
+```ini
+[machine]
+provider = "applehv"
+rosetta = true
+```
+
+### 3. Recreate the Podman Machine
+
+Remove the existing VM and create a new one. **Warning:** This will erase all existing container images and data.
+
+```bash
+podman machine reset
+podman machine init
+podman machine start
+```
+
+### 4. Verify Rosetta is Enabled
+
+Check that Rosetta is properly configured:
+
+```bash
+# Verify Rosetta is enabled in machine configuration
+podman machine inspect --format '{{.Rosetta}}'
+# Expected output: true
+
+# Enable Rosetta activation
+podman machine ssh "sudo touch /etc/containers/enable-rosetta"
+podman machine ssh "sudo systemctl restart rosetta-activation.service"
+
+# Verify Rosetta is available in binfmt
+podman machine ssh "ls /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/"
+# Expected output should include 'rosetta' in the list
+```
