<p>I have kubernetes + minicube installed (MacOs 10.12.6) installed. But while trying to start the minicube i get constant errors:</p>

<pre><code>$: minikube start

</code></pre>

<p>I've also tried to do <code>minikube delete</code> and the <code>minikube start</code> that didn't help (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50554009/minikube-never-start-error-restarting-cluster/50566528">Minikube never start - Error restarting cluster</a>). Also <code>kubectl config use-context minikube</code> was done.</p>

<p>I have minikube version: v0.26.1</p>

<p>It looks to me that kubeadm.yaml file is missing or misplaced.</p>

<p><a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Minikube</a> is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally. Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM on your laptop for users looking to try out Kubernetes or develop with it day-to-day.</p>

<p>In your issue, below steps should do the initialization process successfully:</p>

<pre><code>minikube stop

minikube delete

rm -fr $HOME/.minikube

minikube start
</code></pre>

<p>In the case you mixed Kubernetes and minikube environments I suggest to inspect $HOME/.kube/config file
and delete minikube entries to avoid problem with reinitialization.</p>

<p>If minikube still refuses to start please post logs to analyze. To get detailed log start minikube this way:</p>

<pre><code>minikube start --v=9
</code></pre>
