macOS 10.13 High Sierra

To install Minikube on macOS, you will first have to have Homebrew and Cask installed.

Homebrew is a command-line-based package manager for macOS. Homebrew is used to install both command-line tools and Cask, which is an add-on used to manage desktop applications. It is extremely useful for managing software that is not available in the macOS App Store, as well as saving you from having to manually compile software on your machine.

If you have not already got Homebrew installed, you can install it by running the following command:

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Once installed, you will need to install Cask by running:

$ brew install cask

If you have Homebrew and Cask installed, then you should ensure that everything is up-to-date and ready to run using the following commands:

$ brew update
$ brew doctor

Once Homebrew and Cask are ready, you can install Minikube by running the following command:

$ brew cask install minikube

This will first of all download the dependencies and then install Minikube:

The process takes less than a minute and, once installed, you should be able to perform the following:

$ minikube version

This will display the current version; in my case, this was v0.22.2. We now have Minikube installed and ready to go.
