<p>I do have an Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox on Windows 10. If i follow the instructions to install Minikube I get a start error:</p>

<pre><code>&gt; minikube start &amp;
[1] 4297
vagrant@ubuntu-xenial:~$ o   minikube v0.35.0 on linux (amd64)
&gt;   Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=2048MB, Disk=20000MB) ...

!   Unable to start VM: create: precreate: VBoxManage not found. Make sure 
VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path
</code></pre>

<p>Does it mean i need to install VirtualBox in the Ubuntu VM too? Kind of VB inside VB..</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I'd recommend to install Minikube on your host OS (<a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/#windows" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Windows</a>) and use the already installed Virtual box as a hypervisor provider.</p>

<p>If for any reason you want to launch it on Ubuntu VM, there are two options:</p>

<p><strong>I.</strong> Minikube supports a --vm-driver=none option that runs the Kubernetes components on the host and not in a VM. Using this driver requires Docker and a Linux environment, but not a hypervisor. In this case you have to provide an address to you local API server </p>

<pre><code> `minikube start --vm-driver=none --apiserver-ips 127.0.0.1 --apiserver-name localhost`
</code></pre>

<p>And then go and edit ~/.kube/config, replacing the server IP that was 
     detected from the main network interface with "localhost". For example:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
   clusters:
     - cluster:
       certificate-authority-data:/home/asuh/.minikube/ca.crt
       server: https://localhost:8443
     name: minikube
</code></pre>

<p><strong>II.</strong> Install VM Ware on Windows and run Ubuntu within installed Virtualbox
   and and enabled VT-X/AMD-v in outer VM.</p>

<hr>

<p>Regarding the error you have at the moment:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>However now i get another error like: /usr/local/bin/minikube: cannot
  execute binary file</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Make sure you have installed a proper version of Minikube. For your Ubuntu VM it should be</p>

<pre><code>curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 \
  &amp;&amp; chmod +x minikube
</code></pre>
