how to skip download kubeadm & kubelet . because I download these in $PATH.

Did you put the linux binaries into your darwin PATH ? If you want to download the binaries ahead of time, they need to go in the minikube cache folder rather than in some generic host folder.

But it is probably easier to sort out the network issues ("operation timed out") and let minikube handle the downloading, rather than doing it yourself. Otherwise use ~/.minikube/cache/v1.13.3/

Additionally, if you configure a HTTP proxy, fetches should work:

I'm facing a similar issue, and thanks to @afbjorklund 's suggestion it was resolved. But it is rather strange that I can easily wget to the cache directory, but the cli tool cannot, as its output shows:

😄  minikube v0.35.0 on darwin (amd64)
💡  Tip: Use 'minikube start -p <name>' to create a new cluster, or 'minikube delete' to delete this one.

😿  Sorry that minikube crashed. If this was unexpected, we would love to hear from you:

If you want to skip the downloading, you should put the needed binaries in $MINIKUBE_HOME/.minikube/cache/$KUBE_VERSION/. I wrote a shell script that can help you install minikube on Linux OS easily. And you can also make a offline installation package by using the script. The project home is https://github.com/Kingonion/minikube-on-linux

greate job！Nowadays, however, for k8s v1.27.3, minikube v1.31.1 here, it seems finding those binaries from /var/lib/minikube/binaries/v1.27.3:

I0728 15:25:15.473838   84786 binaries.go:47] Didn't find k8s binaries: didn't find preexisting kubelet
Initiating transfer...
I0728 15:25:15.473888   84786 exec_runner.go:51] Run: sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/minikube/binaries/v1.27.3

So, one may should cp /opt/minikube/.minikube/cache/v1.27.3/kube* /var/lib/minikube/binaries/v1.27.3/ to workaround network issue.
