How do I compile from source without getting the wrong Docker Images

I am trying to run Istioctl from source. I clone the repo, checkout the 1.13.1 tag and run make istioctl. Everything compiles correctly but when I try to use it, it is searching for a docker image with dev in the name so I assume it is not in a public repo…

istioctl install --set profile=demo -y
✔ Istio core installed

- Pruning removed resources

What am I missing, do I need to install the docker image locally first or something?

You might try VERSION=1.3.1 make istioctl.
