+## Set up Minikube
+Platform prerequisites:
+- Systemd-based linux-amd64 system
+- Docker (does not require containerd)
+- Nix
+
+Usage:
+```console
+Usage: setup.sh [OPTIONS]
+
+Options:
+  -h, --help                      Display this text.
+  --kubernetes-version <version>  Specify the version of kubernetes.
+  -i, --install-prerequisites     Install cri-dockerd and containernetworking plugins before creating minikube cluster.
+  -y, --assume-yes                Assume the answer 'Y' for all interactive questions.
+  -k, --skip-kube-context-switch  Skip switching kubectl cluster to the created minikube cluster's context.
+
+Examples:
+  setup.sh --kubernetes-version v1.25.11
+```
+
+Run the following command to set up a Minikube single-node kubernetes cluster:
+```console
+nix-channel --update
+sudo -E env "PATH=$PATH" nix-shell
+./minikube/setup.sh [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+Verify kubernetes control-plane pod statuses
+```console
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system
+```
+Sample output:
+```console
+$ kubectl get pods -n kube-system

+
+## Tear down Minikube
+
+Tear down an existing minikube cluster using the following command while in the nix-shell:
+```console
+minikube stop
+# Exit the nix-shell using the 'exit' command.
+# exit
+```
+Alternatively, use `minikube delete` to delete the minikube profile and all files related to your minikube cluster.
