Install and Set Up kubectl on Linux
We will download the binary from Kubernetes using the following command:
curl -LO "<https://dl.k8s.io/release/$>(curl -L -s <https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt>)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
This will put the binary file we will use to control our clusters within the directory we executed this command in.
debian@borekserver:~$ ls
index.html **kubectl** projecto vps-2bd77d01.vps.ovh.net-snapshot
We will use the install command so we are able to use it from wherever in the system, giving it permission to execute (755).
sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
Now we can check if our install was successful.
debian@borekserver:~$ kubectl version --client

Configuring kubectl on an OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes cluster
First, we need to access to our cluster in OVHcloud’s control panel. Here we will find the kubeconfig file, which we need to download by clicking on it.
~ or wherever you are going to use kubectl from.
Upload the file to Plik and download the file from there using wget
