curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.9.0/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl \
    && chmod +x kubectl && sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/

For Linux:

curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.9.0/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl \

Also, you can install drivers for various VM providers to optimize your minikube VM performance. Instructions can be found here: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/drivers.md.

Xcode and local tools

Xcode will install essential console utilities for us. You can install it from AppStore.

Set up cluster using minikube

To run cluster:

Mac OS

# starts minikube
minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.9.0
# this command should work
kubectl get nodes
# use docker from minikube
eval $(minikube docker-env)
# this command to check connectivity
docker ps

Linux

# starts minikube
minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.9.0 --vm-driver=kvm2
# this command should work
kubectl get nodes
# use docker from minikube
eval $(minikube docker-env)
