Added NOTE
There is no /home/devans/.minikube/cache/images/ directory. There is a /home/devans/.minikube/cache/v1.14.2/ that contains kubeadm and kubelet. Kubectl and minikube were both installed using curl to get a Linux binary.

The "none" driver currently requires sudo: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/vmdriver-none.md
