Hi Folks. I'd like to control my k3s cluster from outside the cluster. The documentation provided here, provides part of the answer. However it doesnt describe how to install kubectl. The machine that I'd like to connect to the cluster from is a Fedora 36 machine. I am using k3s version

Copy code

[root@M ~]# kubectl version
Client Version: <http://version.Info|version.Info>{Major:"1", Minor:"23", GitVersion:"v1.23.6+k3s1", GitCommit:"418c3fa858b69b12b9cefbcff0526f666a6236b9", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2022-04-28T22:16:18Z", GoVersion:"go1.17.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Server Version: <http://version.Info|version.Info>{Major:"1", Minor:"23", GitVersion:"v1.23.6+k3s1", GitCommit:"418c3fa858b69b12b9cefbcff0526f666a6236b9", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2022-04-28T22:16:18Z", GoVersion:"go1.17.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

How do I install just kubectl on my fedora 36 machine?
