# Krew
|
|
|
|
By design, `kubectl` does not install plugins. This task is left to the kubernetes sub-project
|
|
[krew.sigs.k8s.io](https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/) which needs to be installed separately.
|
|
Krew helps to
|
|
|
|
- discover plugins
|
|
- get updates for installed plugins
|
|
- remove plugins
|
|
|
|
## Installing krew
|
|
|
|
Krew should be used as a kubectl plugin. To set yourself up to using krew, you need to do two things:
|
|
|
|
1. Install git
|
|
1. Install krew as described on the project page [krew.sigs.k8s.io](https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/).
|
|
1. Add the krew bin folder to your `PATH` environment variable. For example, in bash `export PATH="${KREW_ROOT:-$HOME/.krew}/bin:$PATH"`.
