Use [Lima](https://lima-vm.io/) to create a Linux VM if you are using a Mac with
Apple silicon. For example:

{{< warning >}}
The following commands create a VM, and make the mount for your home directory
on the host writable. Tweak `~/.lima/tetragon/lima.yaml` if you prefer to only
mount Tetragon directory as writable.
{{< /warning >}}

{{< note >}}
The following commands install Golang 1.23. You may want to install a newer
version if it's available in https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archive/ubuntu/golang-backports.
{{< /note >}}

First create a VM using [Lima](https://lima-vm.io/):

```shell
brew install lima
limactl create --mount-writable --tty=false --name=tetragon
limactl start tetragon
limactl shell tetragon
```

Then install needed dependencies inside the VM:

```shell
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:longsleep/golang-backports
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y golang-1.23 libelf-dev libcap-dev make
export CONTAINER_ENGINE=nerdctl
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/go-1.23/bin
make tetragon-bpf tetragon tetra
```

> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: This creates a VM, and make the mount for your home
> directory on the host writable. Tweak `~/.lima/tetragon/lima.yaml` if you
> prefer to only mount Tetragon directory as writable.
You can now build Tetragon in your VM:

```shell
make -j3 tetragon-bpf tetragon tetra
```
