Installing a client binary command-line tool

Install a command-line tool based on the cluster that you are using.

Procedure

Install the oc or kubectl tool, based on the following scenarios.
  • If you are connected to a Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform cluster, install the oc command-line tool. For more information, see Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary.
  • If you are connected to a non-OpenShift Kubernetes cluster, install the kubectl command-line tool. For more information, see kubectl.
Note: oc commands are interchangeable with kubectl. Hence, if you are connected to non-OpenShift Kubernetes cluster, ensure to replace the oc commands with kubectl counterparts.
