# Install for Linux

{% hint style="danger" %}
If the cldkctl binary is downloaded manually and executed from the current directory, prefix the command with ./, for example ./cldkctl --version. This allows the system to recognize and execute the local binary, as Linux does not include the current directory (./) in the system PATH by default.
{% endhint %}
