😄 minikube v0.34.1 on linux (amd64)
🔥 Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=2048MB, Disk=20000MB) ...
💣 Unable to start VM: create: precreate: VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path

😿 Sorry that minikube crashed. If this was unexpected, we would love to hear from you:

It can not find VM. See docs.

If VM is already installed, try to start minikube with --vm-driver=VirtualBox argument. (You can replace VirtualBox with Hypervisor installed on your machine)

Hope it helps.

Note: minikube v0.35.0 will no longer show the bug report URL for this common case.

I had this problem today; the cause was that I had installed the snap version of minikube, and it couldn't find VBoxManage in the snap's path. Fixed by removing the snap (snap remove minikube) and downloading the minikube binary instead.

I just installed virtualbox in the system (ubuntu 20) and it works

sudo apt install virtualbox
