$ brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve

# docker-machine-driver-xhyve need root owner and uid
$ sudo chown root:wheel $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
$ sudo chmod u+s $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-darwin-amd64 && \
chmod +x minikube && \
sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit \

minikube start --logtostderr --v=3 --vm-driver=hyperkit
minikube version
minikube ssh
$ docker version
kubectl config get-contexts

deploy a simple image

kubectl run hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4 --port=8080

expose the service outside the cluster

kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort
minikube service hello-minikube --url

For Mac users - If you get an error after this command,
minikube start --logtostderr --v=3 --vm-driver=hyperkit

Exiting due to PROVIDER_HYPERKIT_NOT_FOUND: The 'hyperkit' provider was not found: exec: "hyperkit": executable file not found in $PATH W0925 22:43:24.527625 4798 out.go:242] 💡 Suggestion: Run 'brew install hyperkit' 💡 Suggestion: Run 'brew install hyperkit'

just run another brew install of hyperkit

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/hello-minikube/ To create the deployment and expose it, you can follow the documentation

Is therea a M1 chip equivalent of this? We can't run hyperkit on M1 and that curl downloads the amd64 version of minikube

I get the below error while executing: brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve
Error: docker-machine-driver-xhyve has been disabled because it does not build!

Mac Version is Monterey, does anyone have the same issue?

I have the same issue- Try 'brew install hyperkit'

You forgot to mention this gonna mess up with the Kubernetes installation coming with docker desktop.
