   Note:
   This creates a folder “podman_packages” in the /root/datacore folder.

6. Add a new local repo with '/etc/yum.repos.d/podman.repo' path shown as below:

   [podman]
   name=Dependencies for install podman 3.0.1
   baseurl=file:///root/datacore/podman_packages
   enabled=true
   gpgcheck=0

7. Enable the local repo on:

   • CentOS (no additional steps are required, this shows the repo as enabled)

     yum repolist enabled

   • Red Hat

     yum install -y yum-utils
     yum-config-manager enable podman.repo
     yum repolist enabled

8. Verify podman is listed as an enabled repo.

9. Install SCS build.

   yum -y install swarm-scs-1.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

10. Check the scsctl help command to verify the SCS is installed.
