By default we specify 2 GB of memory for the minikube VM. You might see this error if you don't have enough RAM on your machine to initialize the VM. Try running cat proc meminfo to see how much memory you have and perhaps starting minikube with the --memory parameter so you can specify a lower amount.

@mpouyakh7 Did setting the memory command help with your issue?
