<p>I here for hours every day, reading and learning, but this is my first question, so bear with me.</p>
<p>I'm simply trying to get my Kubernetes cluster to start up.</p>
<p>Below is my <code>skaffold.yaml</code> file in the root of the project:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: skaffold/v2alpha3
kind: Config
deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
      - ./infra/k8s/*
build:
  local:
    push: false
  artifacts:
    - image: omesadev/auth
      context: auth
      docker:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile
      sync:
        manual:
          - src: 'src/**/*.ts'
            dest: .
</code></pre>
<p>Below is my <code>auth-depl.yaml</code> file in the <strong>infra/k8s/</strong> directory:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: auth-depl
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: auth
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: auth
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: auth
          image: omesadev/auth
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: auth-srv
spec:
  selector:
    app: auth
  ports:
    - name: auth
      protocol: TCP
      port: 3000
      targetPort: 3000
</code></pre>
<p>Below is the error message I'm receiving in the cli:</p>
<pre><code>exiting dev mode because first deploy failed: unable to connect to Kubernetes: getting client config for Kubernetes client: error creating REST client config for kubeContext &quot;&quot;: invalid configuration: [unable to read client-cert C:\Users\omesa\.minikube\profiles\minikube\client.crt for minikube due to open C:\Users\omesa\.minikube\profiles\minikube\client.crt: The system cannot find the path specified., unable to read client-key C:\Users\omesa\.minikube\profiles\minikube\client.key for minikube due to open C:\Users\omesa\.minikube\profiles\minikube\client.key: The system cannot find the path specified., unable to read certificate-authority C:\Users\omesa\.minikube\ca.crt for minikube due to open C:\Users\omesa\.minikube\ca.crt: The system cannot find the file specified.
</code></pre>
<p>I've tried to install kubernetes, minikube, and kubectl. I've added them to the path and removed them a few times in different ways because I thought my configuration or usage could have been incorrect.</p>
<p>Then, I read that if I'm using the Docker GUI that Kubernetes should be running in that, so I checked the settings in the Docker GUI to ensure Kubernetes was running through Docker and it is.</p>
<p>I have Hyper-V set up. I've used it in the past successfully with Docker and with Virtualbox, so I know my Hyper-V is not the issue.</p>
<p>I've also attached an image of my file directory, but I'm pretty sure everything is good to go here too.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Enable Kubernetes!</p>
<p>The reason why you are getting is that Kubernetes is not enabled.</p>
