The crc setup command can be used to setup OpenShift CodeReady Containers. If the crc setup command returns an error, you may want to run the crc cleanup command before running the crc setup command again.

Something like this should be displayed.

Setup is complete, you can now run 'crc start' to start the OpenShift cluster

The first time the crc setup command is run, the hidden .crc directory is created. The hidden .crc directory will be in your users home directory. For example, if john.doe home directory is C:\Users\john.doe, the hidden .crc directory will be:

C:\Users\john.doe\.crc

Within the hidden .crc directory will be the crc.log file, like this.

C:\Users\john.doe\.crc\crc.log

If some issue occurs causing setup to fail, you may want to run the setup again at --log-level debug, and then check the crc.log.
