I needed to install qemu-user-static on podman running on macOS to enable
[multiarch build](https://zozoo.io/run-a-multiarch-build-using-podman/) of
Docker images. Assuming you already have `brew install podman` and
`podman machine start`, how do you install a package?

    $ podman machine ssh
    $ sudo su -
    # rpm-ostree install --reboot --idempotent qemu-user-static

I used the `--reboot` flag because that's what the aforementioned blog post
instructed, i.e. reboot the VM.
