+## Running in minikube
+
+To run a number of nodes locally in minikube, first we need to build the binary:
+
+```bash
+make docker_build_executor
+```
+
+This command will create the `executor` binary to be included in a docker image.
+
+Before running the deployment script, ensure minikube is installed and running:
+
+```bash
+minikube start
+```
+
+Then run
+
+```bash
+make start_k8s_nodes NODES=<number> SEED_NODES=<number>
+```
+
+Here, `NODES` is the desired total amount of nodes to run in the k8s cluster (defaults to 4 if omitted), and `SEED_NODES` is the amount of those nodes to be deployed first as seed nodes (defaults to 1).
+
+This command will:
+- Generate the configuration files for each node (this step may change in the future, as we may not need to include configuration files in the images)
+- Build a docker image with the configuration files and the binary created in previous step
+- Deploy the initial seed nodes
+- Obtain the internal IP addresses of the seed nodes
+- Deploy the rest of the nodes providing the seed nodes IP addresses to establish the connections
+
+You may run
+
+```bash

+```
+
+To start the minikube dashboard in order to inspect the deployed pods. Remember to use `consensus` namespace to find all consensus related infrastructure.
+
+Finally to clean everything up
+
+```bash
+minikube delete --all
+```
+
+will remove all namespaces, deployments and pods from the minikube environment.
