Access to your Kubernetes cluster, with local credentials on your machine. You can test this by running kubectl get pod - if this works you're all set.
OS X
On OS X you can install Telepresence by running the following:
If you are running another Debian-based distribution that has Python 3.5 installable as python3, you may be able to use the Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) packages. The following works on Linux Mint 18.2 (Sonya) and Debian 9 (Stretch) by forcing the PackageCloud installer to access Xenial packages.
If you are running a Fedora-based distribution that has Python 3.6 installable as python3, you may be able to use Fedora packages. See the Ubuntu section above for information on how to invoke the PackageCloud installer script to force OS and distribution.
Arch Linux
Until we have a correct and working AUR package, please install from source. See issue #135 for the latest information.
Install into arbitrary locations by setting other environment variables before calling the install script. See the install script for more information. After installation you can safely delete the source code.
Other platforms

Transparently connecting to Minikube
In this tutorial you'll see how Telepresence allows you to get transparent access to Minikube networking from a local process outside of Minikube.
This allows you to use your local tools on your laptop to communicate with processes inside Minikube.
You should start by running a service in the cluster:
$ kubectl config use-context minikube
$ kubectl run myservice --image=datawire/hello-world --port=8000 --expose
$ kubectl get service myservice
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
myservice 10.0.0.12 <none> 8000/TCP 1m
It may take a minute or two for the pod running the server to be up and running, depending on how fast your cluster is.
You can now run a local shell using Telepresence that can access that service, even though the process is local but the service is running inside Minikube:
