+make out/minikube-installer.exe 
+gsutil cp out/minikube-installer.exe gs://$BUCKET/releases/$TAGNAME/
 
-### Debian Package (.deb) [Experimental]
-Download the \`minikube_${DEB_VERSION}.deb\` file, and install it using \`sudo dpkg -i minikube_$(DEB_VERSION).deb\`
-
-### Windows [Experimental]
-Download the \`minikube-windows-amd64.exe\` file, rename it to \`minikube.exe\` and add it to your path
-
-### Windows Installer [Experimental]
-Download the \`minikube-installer.exe\` file, and execute the installer.  This will automatically add minikube.exe to your path with an uninstaller available as well.

-## Usage
-Documentation is available [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/${TAGNAME}/README.md).

-
-## Checksums
-Minikube consists of a binary executable and a VM image in ISO format. To verify the contents of your distribution, you can compare sha256 hashes with these values:
-
-\`\`\`
-$ tail -n +1 -- out/*.sha256
-==> out/minikube-darwin-amd64.sha256 <==
-${DARWIN_SHA256}
-
-==> out/minikube-linux-amd64.sha256 <==
-${LINUX_SHA256}
-
-==> out/minikube-windows-amd64.exe.sha256 <==
-${WINDOWS_SHA256}
-\`\`\`
-
-### ISO
-\`\`\`shell
-$ openssl sha256 minikube.iso
-SHA256(minikube.iso)= 
-${ISO_SHA256}
