 You can either build a release from sources or download a pre-built release.  If you do not plan on developing Kubernetes itself, we suggest a pre-built release. 
 
+If you just want to run Kubernetes locally for development, we recommend using Minikube. You can download Minikube [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest).
