+## Install minishift on Mac
+
+***
+
+### Setting Up xhyve Driver
+
+xhyve hypervisor is used by minishift for MacOS. Following is the setps on how to install xhyve driver on MacOS
+
+Use the following command to install the latest version of the driver with Homebrew:
+
+
+`$ brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve`
+
+Once installed, enable root access for the docker-machine-driver-xhyve binary and add it to the default wheel group:
+
+`$ sudo chown root:wheel $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve`
+Set the owner User ID (SUID) for the binary as follows:
+
+`$ sudo chmod u+s $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve`
+
+Verify that xhyve driver is installed successfully
+
+`brew info --installed docker-machine-driver-xhyve`
+
+***
+
+### Install minishift
+After the xhyve driver is installed and verified, install minishift
+
+`$ brew cask install minishift`
+
+### Starting Minishift
+After minishift is installed, start minishift
+
+` minishift start`
+
+If minishift starts successfully, you will see output similar to the follow:
+
+```
+Using 192.168.64.2 as the server IP
+Starting OpenShift using openshift/origin:v3.9.0 ...
+OpenShift server started.
+
+The server is accessible via web console at:
+    https://192.168.64.2:8443
+```
+
+Note that the ip is random choose and you can get the ip address of the vm using:
+
+`minishift ip`
+
+After minishift started, you can access the web console at:
+
+https://<minishift_ip_address>:8443. In above case, it would be https://192.168.64.2:8443.
+
+The default username `developer` and the default password is `developer`
+
+You can also login to the openshift command line:
+
+`oc login https://<minishift_ip_address>:8443/  -u developer -p developer`
+
+You can create an example app using:
+
+`oc new-app https://github.com/openshift/nodejs-ex -l name=myapp`
+
+You can track the log using:
+
+`oc logs -f bc/nodejs-ex`
+ 
+After the build is finished, a new service should get started. You can list the service using
+
+`oc get service`
+
+This service is not exposed yet, you can expose the service using:
+
+`oc expose svc/nodejs-ex`
+
+this command will create a new route in openshift to allow external traffic to the service. You get verify the route got created using
+
+`oc get routes`
+
+HOST is where the host where the service is exposed at. 
+
+For example
+
+```
+$ oc get routes  
+NAME        HOST/PORT                                 PATH      SERVICES    PORT       TERMINATION   WILDCARD
+nodejs-ex   nodejs-ex-myproject.192.168.64.2.nip.io             nodejs-ex   8080-tcp                 None
+```
+
+In this case, nodejs-ex-myproject.192.168.64.2.nip.io is the endpoint the service is exposed.
