MinIO is an object storage solution that provides an Amazon Web Services S3-compatible API and supports all core S3 features.
MinIO is built to deploy anywhere - public or private cloud, baremetal infrastructure, orchestrated environments, and edge infrastructure.
# How to Get Started (OSS)
The OSS version can be run with anything almost. Here are the MacOS version.

Note

The MinIO deployment starts using default root credentials minioadmin:minioadmin. You can test the deployment using the MinIO Console, an embedded web-based object browser built into MinIO Server. Point a web browser running on the host machine to http://127.0.0.1:9000 and log in with the root credentials. You can use the Browser to create buckets, upload objects, and browse the contents of the MinIO server.
You can also connect using any S3-compatible tool, such as the MinIO Client mc commandline tool. See Test using MinIO Client mc for more information on using the mc commandline tool. For application developers, see https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/minio-drivers.html/ to view MinIO SDKs for supported languages.
