Quickstart Prerequisites for a Kubernetes Cluster
The following software, resources, and access are required for deploying a K8s cluster:
| Software | 6.2.0 | 6.3.0 |
|---|---|---|
| GNU bash | 3.2.57 | 3.2.57 |
| Rancher Desktop | Not Applicable | 1.23 |
| Docker Desktop | 28.3.0 | 29.6.0 |

Minikube or Rancher
Whether you use Minikube or Rancher Desktop, the Quickstart installation steps are the same. The only difference is choosing rancher or minikube (default) when running Quickstart.
-
If using Minikube, ensure that:
- Minikube is up and running.
- Minikube user profile must exist.
-
If using Rancher Desktop, ensure the Enable Rosetta support is enabled. If it is disabled, navigate to Rancher Desktop > Preferences > Virtual Machine > Emulation > VZ, and check the Enable Rosetta support checkbox.
