+Here's a step-by-step guide to set up Minikube on your Debian 12 system for a complete Kubernetes learning lab:
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **System Requirements**: 
+   - 2 CPUs or more
+   - 2GB of free memory
+   - 20GB of free disk space
+   - Internet connection
+
+2. **Software Requirements**:
+   - Docker
+   - Kubectl
+   - Minikube
+
+### Step 1: Install Docker
+
+1. **Update your package list:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo apt-get update
+   ```
+
+2. **Install required packages:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
+   ```
+
+3. **Add Docker’s official GPG key:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
+   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
+   ```
+
+4. **Set up the Docker repository:**
+
+   ```sh
+   echo \
+   "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
+   $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
+   ```
+
+5. **Install Docker Engine:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo apt-get update
+   sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
+   ```
+
+6. **Start and enable Docker:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo systemctl start docker
+   sudo systemctl enable docker
+   ```
+
+7. **Verify Docker installation:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo docker run hello-world
+   ```
+
+### Step 2: Install Kubectl
+
+1. **Download the latest release:**
+
+   ```sh
+   curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
+   ```
+
+2. **Make the kubectl binary executable:**
+
+   ```sh
+   chmod +x kubectl
+   ```
+
+3. **Move the binary to your PATH:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify the installation:**
+
+   ```sh
+   kubectl version --client
+   ```
+
+### Step 3: Install Minikube
+
+1. **Download the latest Minikube binary:**
+
+   ```sh
+   curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
+   ```
+
+2. **Install Minikube:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify the installation:**
+
+   ```sh
+   minikube version
+   ```
+
+### Step 4: Start Minikube
+
+1. **Start Minikube with Docker driver:**
+
+   ```sh
+   minikube start --driver=docker
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify Minikube status:**
+
+   ```sh
+   minikube status
+   ```
+
+### Step 5: Basic Minikube Commands
+
+- **Check cluster info:**
+
+  ```sh
+  kubectl cluster-info
+  ```
+
+- **Deploy a sample application:**
+
+  ```sh
+  kubectl create deployment hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4
+  kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort --port=8080
+  minikube service hello-minikube --url
+  ```
+
+- **Access Minikube Dashboard:**
+
+  ```sh
+  minikube dashboard
+  ```
+
+### Step 6: Stop and Delete Minikube
+
+- **Stop Minikube:**
+
+  ```sh
+  minikube stop
+  ```
+
+- **Delete Minikube:**
+
+  ```sh
+  minikube delete
+  ```
