💡  Suggestion: Your host does not support virtualization. If you are running minikube within a VM, try '--driver=docker'. Otherwise, enable virtualization in your BIOS

</code></pre>

<p>This is usually caused by virtualization been disabled in the bios of your machine and not allowing VirtualBox to start properly . Usually you just need to enter your bios setup and enabling Secure Virtual Machine Mode<br />
