2 Getting Started

Get Kubed from GNU ELPA with M-x package-install, or use your favorite Emacs package manager to install Kubed from Git. You can clone the Kubed Git repository from any of the following locations:

To get started with Kubed, all you need is kubectl and Emacs.

Kubed tries to find kubectl in the directories listed in the Emacs variable exec-path. When Emacs is started from a shell, it initializes exec-path from the shell’s PATH environment variable which normally includes the location of kubectl in common kubectl installations. If Emacs doesn’t find the kubectl executable via exec-path, you can tell Kubed where to find it by customizing kubed-kubectl-program.

User Option: kubed-kubectl-program

Name of kubectl executable file to use.
