## kubectl
9+
10+
The Kubernetes command-line tool, `kubectl`, allows you to run commands against
11+
Kubernetes clusters. You can use kubectl to deploy applications, inspect and manage
12+
cluster resources, and view logs.
13+
14+
See [Install and Set Up kubectl](/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) for information about how to
15+
download and install `kubectl` and set it up for accessing your cluster.
16+
17+
You can also read the [`kubectl` reference documentation](/docs/reference/kubectl/).
18+
19+
## Minikube
20+
21+
[Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/) is a tool that lets you run
22+
Kubernetes locally. Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster on your personal
23+
computer (including Windows, macOS and Linux PCs) so that you can try out Kubernetes,
24+
or for daily development work.
25+
26+
You can follow the official [Get Started!](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/)
27+
guide, or read [Install Minikube](/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/) if your focus
28+
is on getting the tool installed.
29+
30+
Once you have Minikube working, you can use it to
31+
[run a sample application](/docs/tutorials/hello-minikube/).
32+
33+
## kind
34+
35+
Like Minikube, [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/) lets you run Kubernetes on
36+
your local compute. Unlike Minikuke, kind only works with a single container runtime:
37+
it requires that you have [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed
38+
and configured.
39+
40+
[Quick Start](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/) shows you what you
41+
need to do to get up and running with kind.
