# Install KVM or VirtualBox or both
# I prefer KVM
# Installing virtualbox
sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack
# Installing KVM
sudo  apt-get -y install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virt-top  libguestfs-tools virtinst bridge-utils
# Load and enable the modulevhost-net
sudo modprobe vhost_net 
sudo lsmod | grep vhost 
echo "vhost_net" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
# You may also need to create bridge network with your kvm's vm. 
# For this see https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-create-and-configure-bridge-networking-for-kvm-in-linux/

# Installing Minikube
curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 \
  && chmod +x minikube
# Easiest way to add Minikube to your executable path
sudo cp minikube /usr/local/bin && rm minikube

# Note: Minikube also supports a --vm-driver=none option that runs the Kubernetes components on the host and not in a VM. Using this driver requires Docker and a Linux environment but not a hypervisor.
# Test your minikube installation
minikube version
minikube start --vm-driver kvm2 # Takes awhile to start the cluster
minikube dashboard --url # Takes awhile to start the dashboard and publish you the url for interacting
minikube stop # Shutsdown the cluster
minikube delete # If only, you want to delete the cluster and start with a different vm-driver, say virtualbox.
