# Install colima

Container runtimes on MacOS (and Linux) with minimal setup. Version 0.10.3 via Homebrew; verified 2026-06-04.

## Install

```sh
sudo av install brew:colima
```

## Agent safety answer

colima controls local container and Kubernetes runtimes used by developer workflows.

- **Credential access:** Can expose mounted files, container credentials, and runtime config.
- **Remote mutation:** Primarily local, but containers can call remote services.
- **Publish/artifact risk:** Can affect containerized build artifacts and local cluster state.
- **Recommended control:** Gate privileged runtime changes, mounts, and Kubernetes enablement.
- **Agent-use guidance:** Allow status checks; require approval for start options exposing host paths or privileged runtimes.
