Need help to install minikube on kodekloud labs

Kubernetes
#1

hi, ’

i have just started the “Kubernetes for beginners” course and I am unable to install minikube. I can see kubectl installed but even after running minikube install it does not show me minikube.

I am using kodekloud labs

i can see the minikube in /usr/local/bin

controlplane ~ ➜ cd /usr/local/bin/

controlplane /usr/local/bin ➜ ls
kubectl minikube starship

controlplane /usr/local/bin ➜ minikube version
-bash: /usr/local/bin/minikube: No such file or directory

controlplane /usr/local/bin :heavy_multiplication_x:
install: can’t stat ‘minikube-linux-amd64’: No such file or directory

So why do i get this error

Hi @Archana2

Looking at the prompt in your description, I presume you are trying to install Minikube on an already available Kubernetes cluster.

controlplane ~ ➜ cd /usr/local/bin/

If you want to try and play with Kubernetes by installing Minikube, I would suggest trying out one of our Linux Playgrounds (Ubuntu 22.04 for example) and start by installing all the prerequisites like Docker, kubectl, and then refer to the Minikube installation guide.

Finally start the minikube using Docker driver minikube start --driver=docker.

Regards.
