Hi @zarak-shahjee, you'll need to download and install docker-machine-driver-vmware.

You can find the download links here: https://github.com/machine-drivers/docker-machine-driver-vmware/releases/tag/v0.1.5

I am facing the same issue

Before this I did brew install docker-machine-driver-vmware

minikube start --driver=vmware
😄 minikube v1.26.1 on Darwin 12.5
✨ Using the vmware driver based on user configuration

🤷 Exiting due to PROVIDER_VMWARE_NOT_FOUND: The 'vmware' provider was not found: exec: "vmrun": executable file not found in $PATH
💡 Suggestion: Install vmrun
📘 Documentation: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/vmware/

@hariharPai This is a different error, the original issue was for "docker-machine-driver-vmware": executable file not found in $PATH, but you're experiencing "vmrun": executable file not found in $PATH. You'll need to find where vmrun is and add it to your path.

I could not use minikube. I used dockerdesktop to solve the problem. Thanks and regards, Harihar Pai
