+# Getting started
+## Local Utilities
+### Minikube
+Minikube is a tool for running Kubernetes locally, which can be useful as a sandbox, and for testing and learning Kubernetes.
+
+Minikube requires a hypervisor (Virtual Machine Manager) to function. If you do not already have one, [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) is a popular option. On Ubuntu-based linux distributions, you can install VirtualBox with
+```
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.2
+```
+([more help and other platforms](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads))
+and on any Linux distribution, you can install Minikube with
+```
+curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.22.3/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
+```
+([more help and other platforms](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases))
+
+### Kubectl
+Kubectl is a command-line interface for managing Kuberenetes clusters.
+Kubectl can be installed on Linux with the following commands:
+```
+curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/`curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt`/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl
+chmod +x ./kubectl
+sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
+```
+See [here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl-binary-via-curl) for more help and other options.
