How to update minikube latest version?

Question

When I command minikube status it shows but with a GitHub link says that update minikube. Can you tell me how can I do this in a simple way?

$ minikube status
⚠️  There is a newer version of minikube available (v1.3.1).  Download it here:
https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/tag/v1.3.1

To disable this notification, run the following:
minikube config set WantUpdateNotification false

host: Stopped
kubelet: 
apiserver: 
kubectl:

Solution 1

The script below removes everything (pods, services, secrets, etc.) that are found in Minikube, deletes old Minikube file, install latest Minikube file and then enables ingress and dashboard addons.

#! /bin/sh

# Minikube update script file

minikube delete && \ 
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/minikube && \ 
sudo curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && \ 
sudo chmod +x minikube && \ 
sudo cp minikube /usr/local/bin/ && \ 
sudo rm minikube && \  
minikube start &&\

# Enabling addons: ingress, dashboard
minikube addons enable ingress && \
minikube addons enable dashboard && \
minikube addons enable metrics-server && \
# Showing enabled addons
echo '\n\n\033[4;33m Enabled Addons \033[0m' && \
minikube addons list | grep STATUS && minikube addons list | grep enabled && \

# Showing current status of Minikube
echo '\n\n\033[4;33m Current status of Minikube \033[0m' && minikube status

(To make use of dashboard addons, execute the command of minikube dashboard on the terminal)

Sample terminal output after script run:

Solution 2

$ sudo minikube delete
$ curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v1.3.1/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo cp minikube /usr/local/bin/ && rm minikube
$ sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none

Solution 3

While updating for my Ubuntu 18.04 I did following

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube_latest_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i minikube_latest_amd64.deb
minikube version # to check the version
minikube start # start minikube
minikube addons list # then check addons

For linux it saves it states at home .minikube directory so no need to delete previous minikube and then enabling addons it will automatically pick the addons and enable once it read states from .minikube directory.

Solution 4

For those running mk on windows, follow these steps : (you will get the latest version of mk)

1: minikube stop
2: choco upgrade minikube
3: visit https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases --> see latest version of kubernetes supported.
4: minikube start --kubernetes-version=1.xx.x
5: choco upgrade kubernetes-cli
6: kubectl version : to verify the update

Prefix a line with 4 spaces to make it look like code, and not like text.

@Muhammad, Question was how to upgrade minikube version. Answer is correctly. If you have issue with start minikube you should create new question with more data. Docker, minikube, kubeadm version, which platform, etc.

[Kaustubh Desai]

Hey @MuhammadQasimQadri try this to resolve that error : $ minikube stop $ minikube delete $ rm -rf ~/.minikube/ $ rm -rf ~/.kube/ and then run $ minikube start

[MechaCode]

above commands upgrage your minikube CLI version, and once you run command - minikube start --driver=virtualbox/docker, it will download minikube current updated version ISO image, and works fine.

This should be the accepted answer :) Works great.
