“authenticated as: anonymous Groups that you are in” error when checking kubectl version

I am trying to setup the kubectl tool in my machine to remotely manage Kubernetes cluster and also to use Helm. I am trying in Ubuntu 16.04 machine.

I am following the official Kubernetes documentation from the following link,

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/

I ran the following commands,

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y kubectl

And after when I am running the 'kubectl version' command to verify the installation , I am getting the following ,

Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"14", GitVersion:"v1.14.1",

Authentication required
<!--
 You are authenticated as: anonymous
 Groups that you are in:

Permission you need to have (but didn't): hudson.model.Hudson.Read
... which is implied by: hudson.security.Permission.GenericRead
... which is implied by: hudson.model.Hudson.Administer
-->

And also not finding the '~/.kube/config' file in machine.

Why do I get this authentication error when checking the kubectl version?

You have to manually copy .kube/ directory from you cluster node into your local ~/.kube

If you don't have .kube/ on the master node, copy it from /etc/kubernetes/kube.conf

mkdir $HOME/.kube
scp root@<master-public-ip>:/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf $HOME/.kube/config

You can also define the filepath of kubeconfig by passing in --kubeconfig parameter, i.e.

kubectl version --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config
