Dear instructors,
I am just going through “C4_C2_Lab_Intro_to_Kubernetes”: I followed the instructions and installed curl, VirtualBox and kubectl but then failed to start Minikube. Note: I am using WSL2 on Windows11.
Initially I installed the latest minikube stable release on x86-64 Linux using binary download by running the following command:
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
Then I tried to run start minicube but got the following error notification.
Here is the output. Any idea what might cause the error and how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Daniel! Welcome to Discourse! Since you’re using WSL2, you might need to put a path that it sees instead of C:/tmp. I think that only works if you’re using Windows without WSL2. Based on your screenshot, maybe you can put files in /mnt/c/Users/Daniel/tmp and mount that instead. Simply replace C:/tmp in the mount-string argument. Hope this helps!

Awesome - got the docker running! Thanks for your instructions, Chris 
As a consequence, am I supposed to change any of the yaml files (config, deployment) as well? Because when I want to deploy the application I don’t get the tf-serving-deployment ready …
In my case I had to take an extra step and delete minikube from previous unsuccessful runs before
rerunning with the correct arguments. Instructions are provided here.
