<p>I'm on Ubuntu linux VM and trying to run minikube on it.</p>

<p>I installed kubectl via homebrew and then installed minikube by following below installation guides:<br>
kubectl: <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl-on-linux" rel="noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl-on-linux</a><br>
minikube: <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/" rel="noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/</a></p>

<p>I started minikube as <code>sudo minikube start --driver=none</code> which has the following output:<br>

<p>When I run the command: <code>kubectl get pods</code>, I get an error:</p>

<pre><code>Error in configuration:
* unable to read client-cert /home/jenkins/.minikube/profiles/minikube/client.crt for minikube due to open /home/jenkins/.minikube/profiles/minikube/client.crt: permission denied
* unable to read client-key /home/jenkins/.minikube/profiles/minikube/client.key for minikube due to open /home/jenkins/.minikube/profiles/minikube/client.key: permission denied
</code></pre>

<p>The user I'm installing all above is <code>/home/jenkins</code>. I'm not sure what's going wrong. Can someone help?</p>
