Provide install binary or package for end users?

[medyagh]

Hi I would like to know if there is a plan to create a binary or a package so the minikube users could install this or minikube could auto-install it, currently our process requires people with knowledge of using "make" and install build tools to make it work?

or is it possible to install/update it using brew install ?

I don't think we have any plan right now. One issue is that you have to run the daemon as root, so a simple homebrew package won't work.

I plan.

Can we use a cask?

That should work. I always wanted to check if you can use a cask with just a shell script, or if you need a proper *.pkg installer for it.

The cask PR was rejected, resubmitting as a non-cask:

Excellent, we look forward to use it in our documentation. would we need to uninstall the one built by source first?

That would be recommended, but actually the files can be just overwritten
