In this chapter, we will use the following technologies and software:

• The command-line interface
• Minishift
• GitHub
• Web browsers

The Vagrant installation, and all of the code that we will use in this chapter, are located on GitHub, at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-OpenShift.

You can use Firefox or any other browser to navigate through Docker Hub.

As a prerequisite, you will need a stable internet connection from your laptop.

We will use Minishift as our lab environment in this chapter. Before you start, please delete your existing Minishift VM (if there is one), because we will need to create a new VM, with non-standard parameters:

$ minishift start --openshift-version=v3.9.0 --vm-driver=virtualbox --memory 4GB
...

   Memory: 4 GB
