In order to provide a simple development process, Carbon has native integration with Minikube. All that you have to do is to install Minikube and run Carbon commands with -m/--minikube flag.
In this mode carbon build builds an image at the Minikube Docker daemon, carbon install reads data from this daemon and installs Carbon package to the Minikube cluster. Almost all flags (except carbon version of course :) ) support Minikube mode.
