# How to use kubeconfig on Linux

After you have successfully downloaded Kube Config on the Deka GPU Service Portal. The following is a guide to using Kube Config on the Linux operating system.

## Configure kubectl

Download the latest version of kubectl in use and run the following command line in your terminal.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="x86-64" %}

```bash
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/arm64/kubectl"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="ARM64" %}

```bash
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
To download a specific version, replace `$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)` with the specific version to download. Here's an example of the syntax executed for a specific download. The following downloads version 1.31.0:

x86-64 type

```bash
curl -LO https://dl.k8s.io/release/v1.31.0/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
```

ARM64 type

```bash
curl -LO https://dl.k8s.io/release/v1.31.0/bin/linux/arm64/kubectl
```

{% endhint %}

validasi berkas binary dengan menjalankan sintak berikut.

```bash
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/v1.28.15/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl.sha256"
echo "$(cat kubectl.sha256)  kubectl" | sha256sum --check
```

If validation of the binary file is successful, it displays kubectl status: OK. Install kubectl by running the syntax below.

```bash
sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
```

To ensure the version used is the latest version, run the following syntax.

```
kubectl version --client
```

## Set-up kubeconfig

Create a new directory named .kube in the home directory by executing the following syntax.

```
mkdir ~/.kube
```

After creating a new directory, create a new file in the kube directory with the name config which will store the kubernetes configuration file that you previously downloaded via the Deka GPU Portal Service.

```
nano ~/.kube/config
```

Open the kube-config.yaml file previously downloaded via the Deka GPU Portal Service using the text editor you have on your computer. If you haven't downloaded the kube-config file, you can follow the Download kubeconfig subsection. Copy the contents of the kube-config.yaml file to the config file as shown below.

```bash
kubectl get pod
```
