A couple factors to answer your question i'll try to make it as simple as possible.

having a good business plan.
check your countries regulations.
Talk to your bank.
secure a good location with high foot traffic.
Choose the BTM type and manufacturer: There are one-way and two-way BTMs. The latter allows customers to sell bitcoin for cash as well as buy bitcoin, but they are more expensive.
Plan for customer support, and maintenance.
If you're looking to run it solo. or with a partner also bring in other factors, like payment sharing, it would make it easier for you to also keep it running due to responsibility sharing, just make sure you think these things through carefully.

Used to know someone who knew someone but I don't anymore. Maybe @black-man could help

Unfortunately I don't know the practical side but I will ask around as Manchester in England used to have 2 atms although they are closed now I think. Suppose us will have different laws too. Good luck it's a cool idea!

On October 29, 2013, Waves Coffee Shop in Vancouver, Canada, opened the world's first Bitcoin exchange machine, they, more than anyone, must have the experience to conceive the idea and contact them.

The companies that offer the service and the bank for the ATMs, are already involved in this technology, it is not something new, they have to evolve with the technology, the services provided and the necessary technological applications.

In where I live we have a very tight control on the market of crypto atms so if I want to install a crypto I must lease it from the company.
However in the states I think you could get one here
As far as I know they do not lease, but completely sell it to you and also can provide you with all the legalities you need to know about it
