Create a Script too call minikube.exe from WSL2/Ubuntu
$ vi minikube
#!/bin/sh /mnt/c/Program\ Files/Kubernetes/Minikube/minikube.exe $@
Make executable and copy it to a folder in your path
$ chmod +x ./minikube $ sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/.
Configure
$ minikube config set cpus 4 $ minikube config set memory 8192
If you are changing the above configuration, you will need to first delete the minikube instance using the command 'minikube delete'.
