Other Tools [page]deterministic
Kubernetes contains several tools to help you work with the Kubernetes system.
## crictl
[`crictl`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools) is a command-line interface for inspecting and debugging [CRI](#gloss:cri)-compatible container runtimes.
## Dashboard
[`Dashboard`](/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/), the web-based user interface of Kubernetes, allows you to deploy containerized applications to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot them, and manage the cluster and its resources itself.
## Headlamp
[Headlamp](https://headlamp.dev/) is an extensible Kubernetes graphical user interface, and is an optional Kubernetes cluster component. Headlamp is part of the Kubernetes project.
Headlamp provides:
* A modern, user-friendly graphical interface for cluster management and troubleshooting * Support for both in-cluster deployment and desktop application modes * Extensibility through a plugin system * RBAC-based controls that adapt to user permissions
## Helm
[Helm](https://helm.sh/) is a tool for managing packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources. These packages are known as _Helm charts_.
Use Helm to:
* Find and use popular software packaged as Kubernetes charts * Share your own applications as Kubernetes charts * Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications * Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files * Manage releases of Helm packages
## kind
[`kind`](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container nodes. kind is primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself, but may also be used for local development or CI.
## Kompose
[`Kompose`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose) is a tool to help Docker Compose users move to Kubernetes.
Use Kompose to:
* Translate a Docker Compose file into Kubernetes objects * Go from local Docker development to managing your application via Kubernetes * Convert v1 or v2 Docker Compose `yaml` files or [Distributed Application Bundles](https://docs.docker.com/compose/bundles/)
## Kui
[`Kui`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kui) is a GUI tool that takes your normal `kubectl` command line requests and responds with graphics. Instead of ASCII tables, Kui provides a GUI rendering with tables that you can sort.
Kui lets you:
* Directly click on long, auto-generated resource names instead of copying and pasting * Type in `kubectl` commands and see them execute, even sometimes faster than `kubectl` itself * Query a [Job](#gloss:job) and see its execution rendered as a waterfall diagram * Click through resources in your cluster using a tabbed UI
## Minikube
[`minikube`](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/) is a tool that runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster locally on your workstation for development and testing purposes.
