Before you begin

VT-x or AMD-v virtualization must be enabled in your computer’s BIOS.

Install a Hypervisor

If you do not already have a hypervisor installed, install one now.

For OS X, install VirtualBox or VMware Fusion, or HyperKit.
For Linux, install VirtualBox or KVM.

Note: Minikube also supports a --vm-driver=none option that runs the Kubernetes components on the host and not in a VM. Docker is required to use this driver but a hypervisor is not required.

For Windows, install VirtualBox or Hyper-V.

Install kubectl

Install kubectl.

Install Minikube

Install Minikube according to the instructions for the latest release.
