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 >}} 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. {{< /note >}}

  • For Windows, install VirtualBox or Hyper-V.

Install kubectl
