Step 1
Pick one tool and install it. kind: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/ — brew install kind ; winget install Kubernetes.kind ; or download the release binary. minikube: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/ — brew install minikube ; winget install Kubernetes.minikube ; Linux curl binary + install to PATH. k3d: https://k3d.io/ — brew install k3d ; or curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/k3d-io/k3d/main/install.sh | bash (review script first). Requires a container runtime (Docker/Colima/Podman) for kind/k3d.
Step 2
kind version 2>/dev/null || minikube version 2>/dev/null || k3d version
