It's time to get hands-on with CRI-O. We are not going to explore CRI-O in depth, but rather show you how to bring up a development environment with CRI-O configured with some basic functionality.
At the time of writing, CRI-O is still under development. Therefore, the setup instructions in your case might be a bit different and you will need to refer to the official Minikube documentation.
In order to start Kubernetes with CRI-O as a Container Runtime Interface, we are going to use Minikube with an additional --container-runtime crio option:
$ minikube start --container-runtime crio
Starting local Kubernetes v1.9.0 cluster...

Loading cached images from config file.
Check Minikube's status and make sure that it is up and running:
$ minikube status
minikube: Running
cluster: Running
kubectl: Correctly Configured...
