I want to upgrade the kubectl client version to 1.11.3.
I executed brew install kubernetes-cli but the version doesnt seem to be updating.
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"10", GitVersion:"v1.10.7", GitCommit:"0c38c362511b20a098d7cd855f1314dad92c2780", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-08-20T10:09:03Z", GoVersion:"go1.9.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"11", GitVersion:"v1.11.4", GitCommit:"bf9a868e8ea3d3a8fa53cbb22f566771b3f8068b", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-10-25T19:06:30Z", GoVersion:"go1.10.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}I'm trying to get the logs for a cell by running this command.
kubectl logs -l groupname/cell=my-cell --all-containers=trueThis works in my VM which has client version 1.11.3. But in my mac it gives me an error saying --all-containers=true flag is not available for kubectl logs command.
My docker desktop used an old version of kubectl. After installing gcloud components install kubectl the installer yields a warning of the location of the outdated kubectl version:
WARNING: There are older versions of Google Cloud Platform tools on your system PATH. Please remove the following to avoid accidentally invoking these old tools:
/Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin/kubectl
I have removed the folder and kubectl run fine.
Similar to what boraas said. The version you are seeing is from another kubectl.exe installation. I had docker for windows installed which already has kubectl.exe (located in Docker\resources\bin) and was of older version. This gets used unless you provide explicitly the path to the new location of your kubectl.exe [you need to set it in PATH].
I landed here after I faced problem while downloading kubectl from aws. kubectl installation was failing because I had kubectl in my machine.
After I removed, was able to install kubectl 1.15.11 from aws.
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 55 Jan 11 17:49 kubectl.docker -> /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin/kubectl

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/<specific-kubectl-version>/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl
For your case if you want to install version v1.11.3 then replace specific-kubectl-version with v1.11.3
Then make this binary executable
chmod +x ./kubectlThen move this binary to your PATH
sudo mv ./kubectl $(which kubectl)If you have installed it with brew, you can just run brew upgrade kubernetes-cli.
I had installed kubectl using google-cloud-sdk. So in my path kubectl was pointing to this location. That is why the version did not update. Kubectl got updated after I removed that from the path.
To install OR upgrade the version of kubectl Server and Client on MacOS X is very easy if you follow the detailed install guide on the Kubernetes install page https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl-on-macos
Hope it helps :)
Via Chocolatey:
choco upgrade kubernetes-cli
