@kevinsingapore looks like you are missing config.json file from your docker installation. Try Reinstalling the docker and then run the minikube again.

on linux you don't need to use default virtualbox driver. You can use kvm2 or none driver types.
https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/drivers.md
https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/vmdriver-none.md
if you using none driver maybe you need install docker.

@kevinsingapore - Please install Virtualbox, which is what the "advice" section is trying to convey. Do you have a recommendation on how I could improve the error message?
