Alternative — Install minikube

• Follow the instructions in minikube start

• Download minikube.exe

  New-Item -Path 'c:\' -Name 'minikube' -ItemType Directory -Force
  Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile 'c:\minikube\minikube.exe' -Uri 'https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest/download/minikube-windows-amd64.exe' -UseBasicParsing
  

• Add the executable to your path

  $oldPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
  if ($oldPath.Split(';') -inotcontains 'C:\minikube'){ `
    [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $('C:\minikube;{0}' -f $oldPath), [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User) `
  }
  

• Reload your path. The easiest way is to stop and start your terminal again.

  If you use VS Code do not use Developer: Reload Window. You will need to close and open the full application.

  

  The same applies other tools like JetBrains products if you use them.
