To deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes, you’ll use the Kubernetes command-line tool, [kubectl](kubectl/kubectl.md). It lets you inspect your cluster resources, create, delete, and update components, and much more. You will use it to look at your new cluster and bring up example apps.
## Install kubectl
## Installing kubectl
You can find it in the [release](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/releases) tar bundle, under platforms/<os>/<arch>;
or if you build from source, kubectl should be either under _output/local/bin/<os>/<arch> or _output/dockerized/bin/<os>/<arch>.
Next, make sure the kubectl tool is in your path, assuming you download a release:
```bash
# OS X
export PATH=<path/to/kubernetes-directory>/platforms/darwin/amd64:$PATH
# Linux
export PATH=<path/to/kubernetes-directory>/platforms/linux/amd64:$PATH
```
## Configure kubectl
In order for kubectl to find and access the Kubernetes cluster, it needs a [kubeconfig file](kubeconfig-file.md), which is created automatically when creating a cluster using kube-up.sh (see the [getting started guides](../../docs/getting-started-guides/) for more about creating clusters). If you need access to a cluster you didn’t create, see the [Sharing Cluster Access document](sharing-clusters.md).
#### Installing Kubectl
If you downloaded a pre-compiled release, kubectl should be under `platforms/<os>/<arch>`.
If you downloaded a pre-compiled [release](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/releases), kubectl should be under `platforms/<os>/<arch>` from the tar bundle.
If you built from source, kubectl should be either under `_output/local/bin/<os>/<arch>` or `_output/dockerized/bin/<os>/<arch>`.

#### Configuring Kubectl
You also need to ensure it's executable:
If you used `./cluster/kube-up.sh` to deploy your Kubernetes cluster, kubectl should already be locally configured.
```console
$ sudo chmod +X /usr/local/bin/kubectl
```
If you prefer not to copy kubectl, you need to ensure the tool is in your path:
```bash
# OS X
export PATH=<path/to/kubernetes-directory>/platforms/darwin/amd64:$PATH
# Linux
export PATH=<path/to/kubernetes-directory>/platforms/linux/amd64:$PATH

If you need access to a cluster you didn’t create, see the [Sharing Cluster Access document](sharing-clusters.md).
By default, kubectl configuration lives at `~/.kube/config`.
If your cluster was deployed by other means (e.g. a [getting started guide](../getting-started-guides/README.md)) your kubectl client will typically be configured during that process. If for some reason your kubectl client is not yet configured, check out [kubeconfig-file.md](kubeconfig-file.md).
#### Making sure you're ready
Check that kubectl is properly configured by getting the cluster state:
