Install Minikube to configure Kubernetes Cluster on single node.

[1]	Install a Hypervisor first that is supported by Minikube. On this example, Install KVM. For other Hypervisors, it's possible to use VirtualBox, VMware Fusion, HyperKit.
[2]	Run Snapd, refer to here.
[3]	Install Minikube and other required tools.
