Setup with MacOS

brew list

Installing a Hypervisor

Install a Hypervisor. If you do not already have a hypervisor installed, install one of these now:.

brew install hyperkit

Installing minikube

brew install minikube

minikube version

Installing kubectl

kubectl is the command line tool we'll be using to interact with our local cluster - and in fact, any Kubernetes cluster in general.

brew install kubectl kubectl version

Starting minikube

To start minikube, simply type the following in your terminal or command line:

minikube start

This will setup the virtual machines required to run a minimal Kubernetes cluster. Once minikube start is finished, you can specify the minikube context from your command line:

kubectl config use-context minikube

To verify that you're connected to the cluster, you can run the following command:

kubectl cluster-info

Huzzah! You're ready!
