<p>I had installed <em>minikube</em> a few months ago and wanted to upgrade as newer versions are available.</p>

<p>I am unable to find out how to upgrade <em>minikube</em>. I see a feature request for an upgrade command here - <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1171" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1171</a></p>

<p>I tried to then uninstall <em>minikube</em> and hit another brickwall again. I don't see a command to uninstall <em>minikube</em>. The information that came closest to this was not very helpful - <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1043" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1043</a></p>

<p>I guess we need ways to upgrade these (at least once every 6 months or so).</p>

<p>Before reinstall minikube (OS X), check the following:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Make sure that you have <code>brew</code> updated: </p>

<pre><code>brew update
</code></pre></li>
<li><p>Make sure that you already have <code>cask</code> installed:</p>

<pre><code>brew cask install minikube --verbose
</code></pre></li>
</ul>

<p>Finally, execute the following command in the same directory you've installed minikube previously (usually <code>/usr/local/bin/</code>):</p>

<pre><code>brew cask reinstall minikube
</code></pre>

<p>If you see an output similar to this: </p>

<p><code>Error: It seems there is already a Binary at '/usr/local/bin/minikube'; not linking.</code></p>

<ul>
<li><p>Remove the existing binary:</p>

<pre><code>rm /usr/local/bin/minikube
</code></pre></li>
</ul>

<p>Now, you should able to reinstall (upgrade) minikube. :)</p>
