Installation steps

Install kubectl

• $ grep -E --color 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo

• $ curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube
• $ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/
• $ sudo install minikube /usr/local/bin/

• $ minikube start --vm-driver=<driver_name>, where <driver-name> kvm2 or set one of list of drivers

  host: Running
  kubelet: Running
  apiserver: Running
  kubeconfig: Configured
