2. Add execution permissions to the binary

    sudo chmod ugo+x /usr/local/sbin/minikube
   

3. Start kubernetes cluster

    minikube start
   

   (this may takes a few minutes)

4. Enable ingress add-on for Minukube:

    minikube addons enable ingress
   

5. Test health of kubernetes cluster

    [roberto@vmlab01 Helm-test]$ minikube status
    minikube
    type: Control Plane
    host: Running
    kubelet: Running
    apiserver: Running
    kubeconfig: Configured
   

6. Install kubectl

    sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/kubectl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
   

7. Add execution permissions to the binary

    sudo chmod ugo+x /usr/local/bin/kubectl
   

8. Check communication with cluster

    [roberto@vmlab01 Helm-test]$ kubectl get nodes
