Additionally, you can run minikube dashboard to access the Kubernetes dashboard. You might also need to install kubectl by running sudo apt install kubectl before proceeding with the steps above.

Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for running Minikube, such as having a compatible hypervisor installed if you want to use a specific one rather than the default VirtualBox.
