Installing Minishift on MacOS#

Check the prerequisites

Basically is tells you to run:

brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve

To have launchd start docker-machine now and restart at login:
brew services start docker-machine
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
docker-machine start
==> docker-machine-driver-xhyve
This driver requires superuser privileges to access the hypervisor. To
enable, execute
    sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
    sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve

Ensure to run those 2 commands:

sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/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
