This is related to #5478

The exact command to reproduce the issue:

If we start minikube while selecting virtualbox without installing virtualbox, of course the minikube start fail.

$ minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox

The error message says the virtualbox install suggestion.
But minikube keeps starting virtualbox(Of course this is failing.)

We need to detect after the virtualbox is not installed and minikube should exit with the links to documentation how to install it.

The full output of the command that failed:


$ minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox
😄 minikube v1.5.2 on Darwin 10.14.5

⚠️ 'virtualbox' driver reported a possible issue: unable to find VBoxManage in $PATH
💡 Suggestion: Install VirtualBox
