How to Install Kubernetes on Terminal

Kubernetes is a widely used container orchestration tool that helps automate container deployment, scaling, and management. It provides an efficient way to manage containerized applications in a clustered environment.

In this article, we will guide you through the process of installing Kubernetes on the terminal.

Prerequisites:

  • A Linux-based operating system
  • Docker installed and running
  • A user with sudo privileges

Let's begin with the installation process.

Step 1: Install kubectl

The first step is to install the kubectl command-line tool, which is used to deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes. You can install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y kubectl

Step 2: Install Minikube

Minikube is a tool that enables you to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster on your local machine. You can install it using the following command:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr
/local/bin/minikube

Step 3: Start Minikube

After installing Minikube, start it using the following command:

minikube start

This command will start a single-node Kubernetes cluster on your local machine.

Step 4: Verify the installation

To verify that Kubernetes is installed and running, run the following command:

kubectl version

This command will display the version of both the kubectl command-line tool and the Kubernetes server.

Step 5: Deploy an application

Now that you have Kubernetes up and running, you can deploy your first application. For example, you can deploy the Kubernetes dashboard using the following command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0-beta8/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

This command will deploy the Kubernetes dashboard on your local machine.

Step 6: Access the Kubernetes dashboard

To access the Kubernetes dashboard, run the following command:

minikube dashboard

This command will open the Kubernetes dashboard in your default web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Kubernetes on your local machine.

More examples:

  • To stop Minikube, run the following command: minikube stop
  • To delete the Minikube virtual machine, run the following command: minikube delete
  • To view the running Kubernetes pods, run the following command: kubectl get pods
  • To view the running Kubernetes services, run the following command: kubectl get services
