How to upgrade kubectl client version

Question

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.

Answer 1

Install specific version of kubectl

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release//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 ./kubectl

Then move this binary to your PATH

sudo mv ./kubectl $(which kubectl)
