<p>How to know the kubernetes version that is installed by minikube?
I am aware of the kubectl version and the minikube version.</p>

<p>Once your minikube is running, you can use <code>kubectl version</code> command to see the version of kubernetes server. </p>

<p>Also, when you start minikube using <code>minikube start</code>, kubernetes version is shown in stdout.</p>

<pre><code>$ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.6.0 cluster...
</code></pre>

<p>You can supply the kubernetes version you want minikube to start by mentioning the <code>--kubernetes-version (The kubernetes version that the minikube VM will use (ex: v1.2.3))</code> flag.</p>

<pre><code>$ minikube start --kubernetes-version v1.7.0
</code></pre>
