Hi@akhtar,

Kubectl is a program that connects your kubernetes cluster from anywhere. To install kubectl, you can follow the below steps.

• Download kubectl program.

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/`curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt`/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl

• Make kubectl executable.

$ chmod +x kubectl

• Move kubectl to /usr/bin, so that you can run kubectl from anywhere in your system.

$ mv kubectl /usr/bin
