<p>As the error already indicates podman 2 is not yet supported.</p>

<p>The workaround for this as described <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/9120" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> is to use version v.1.9.3.</p>
<p>Here`s the <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/pull/8784/files/0d78fe56afd08ca789b91b18fc40b18329f63374" rel="nofollow noreferrer">merge</a> that was done to warn about podman version 2.</p>
