Hi, Looking for help on Rancher Desktop install for MacOS 12.6.1. I’ve downloaded the latest version 1.6.2 dmg and installed it but when trying to install nerdctl I don’t see any option to activate/install it in the dashboard or Preferences. In the docs its says: After Rancher Desktop is installed, users will have access to these supporting utilities: • Helm • kubectl • nerdctl • docker (moby) So where do I find these utilities to activate/install?

Hello, Once you install the rancher desktop and installation is completed then you can open the terminal and check on the commands if its working for example if you type nerdctl info you will the info of them.
For helm the app manager only works for VM Tanzu.

Helm and kubectl I installed before the Rancher via brew,so they are working on their own, but nerdctl doesn't work.

It shows command not found
I thought the idea was that nerdctl works inside VM

In order to install nerdctl via brew it requires to install Lima VM first and only then nerdctl. But it doesn’t make any sense because Rancher is also based on Lima VM and creates another VM. Having to run two VM doesn’t make any sense.
The fix was easy, I just forgot to restart my terminal for new PATH to take effect. It’s all good now.
