After you have installed `kubectl` or `kn`, these tools will search for the `kubeconfig` file of your cluster in the default location of `$HOME/.kube/config`, and will use this file to connect to the cluster. A `kubeconfig` file is usually automatically created when you create a Kubernetes cluster.
You can also set the environment variable `$KUBECONFIG`, and point it to the kubeconfig file.
