See https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/
Download the executable : https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-installer.exe
From a Powershell with Administrator Privileges

If you need it, try: 'minikube kubectl -- get pods -A' * Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default
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'.

Install Kubectl
In WSL/Ubuntu:
# download $ curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" #install $ sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
$ cd ~ $ cp -R /mnt/c/Users/mehan/.kube/ .
Install Docker
See https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
In WSL2/Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install \ apt-transport-https \ ca-certificates \ curl \ gnupg \ lsb-release $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg $ echo \ "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Start Docker
$ sudo /etc/init.d/docker start
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'.
