<p>I have recently installed minikube and VirtualBox on a new Mac using homebrew. I am following instructions from the <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/hello-minikube" rel="noreferrer">official minikube tutorial</a>.  </p>

<p>This is how I am starting the cluster - </p>

<pre><code>minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit
</code></pre>

<p>On running <code>kubectl cluster-info</code> I get this</p>

<pre><code>Kubernetes master is running at https://192.168.99.100:8443
CoreDNS is running at https://192.168.99.100:8443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
</code></pre>

<p>Then I set the context of minikube</p>

<pre><code>kubectl config use-context minikube
</code></pre>

<p>But when I run <code>minikube dashboard</code> it takes a lot of time to get any output and ultimately I get this output - </p>

<p>I am expecting to see a web UI for minikube clusters, but getting error output. Is there something I am doing wrong?</p>
