I was running kubectl command to deploy my application in the gcloud. But suddenly the kubectl command stopped working.
kubectlkubectl create bash: kubectl create: command not found kubectl run bash: kubectl run: command not found SBGML02586:~ mku01$ kubectl
kubectl controls the Kubernetes cluster manager.
Find more information at: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/overview/
Basic Commands (Beginner):
create Create a resource from a file or from stdin.
expose Take a replication controller, service, deployment or pod and
expose it as a new Kubernetes Service
run Run a particular image on the cluster
set Set specific features on objects......
I had a similar error when I was setting up Kubernetes on Linux for the first time:
When I try to run the commands:
kubectl cluster-info kubectl version
I get the error:
-bash: kubectl: command not found
Here's how I fixed it:
Download the latest Kubernetes release with the command:
curl -LO "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
Make the kubectl binary executable:
chmod +x ./kubectl
Move the binary in to your PATH:
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
kubectl cluster-info kubectl version
You can read up more about it in the Kubernetes Official Docs: Install and Set Up kubectl
That's all.
I hope this helps
I got this message while using wsl on windows.
kubectl/mnt/c/Users/xxxx$ kubectl
kubectl: command not found
The issue was that docker was not started after I had restarted my laptop
:/usr/local/bin$ ls -ltr
total 2548

It started working once I started my docker application (I use docker-desktop for windows, and I had disabled auto-start on startup)
Homebrew users might fix it with:
brew reinstall kubectl
May need to follow it with:
brew link --overwrite kubernetes-cli
kubectl is not available after enabling kubernetes in docker-desktop. Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
First step: Download the latest release with the command:
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
Second step: Download the kubectl checksum file:
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl.sha256"
Validate the kubectl binary against the checksum file:
echo "$(cat kubectl.sha256) kubectl" | sha256sum --check
If valid, the output is:
kubectl: OK
If the check fails, sha256 exits with nonzero status and prints output similar to:
Note: Download the same version of the binary and checksum.
Third step:
Install kubectl
sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
Fourth step:
Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
kubectl version --client
or use this for detailed view of version:
kubectl version --client --output=yaml
Please check your nix config file and add "kubernetes.enable = true;" in tools.
