# How to use kubeconfig on Windows

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

## Configure kubectl

The first step to be able to use kubectl is to download the kubectl file first. To be able to download kubectl, you can use two methods, namely: 

1. First way Download directly to [this page](<https://dl.k8s.io/v1.28.15/bin/windows/amd64/kubectl.exe >). Make sure to choose the version that suits the architecture you are using, and save the kubectl.exe file on your device.  After successfully downloading kubectl.exe, move kubectl.exe to the desired folder. In the "windows search bar" on your computer, enter "env". Select “Edit the system environment variables”.
