### Kubectl Plugins (macOS and Linux)

You can install and use [Krew](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew/) kubectl
plugin manager to get `kubectx` and `kubens`. **NOTE:** This will not install
shell completion scripts, if you want those, choose another installation method
below.

testing/unstable repos, check out the

- or save them to a directory, then create symlinks to `kubectx`/`kubens` from
somewhere in your `PATH`, like `/usr/local/bin`
- Make `kubectx` and `kubens` executable (`chmod +x ...`)
- Install bash/zsh/fish [completion scripts](completion/).
- For zsh:
The completion scripts have to be in a path that belongs to `$fpath`. Either link or copy them to an existing folder.
If using oh-my-zsh you can do as follows:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions
chmod -R 755 ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions
ln -s /opt/kubectx/completion/kubectx.zsh ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions/_kubectx.zsh
ln -s /opt/kubectx/completion/kubens.zsh ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions/_kubens.zsh
```
Note that the leading underscore seems to be a convention. If completion doesn't work, add `autoload -U compinit && compinit` to your `.zshrc` (similar to [`zsh-completions`](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions/blob/master/README.md#oh-my-zsh)).
If not using oh-my-zsh, you could link to `/usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion` (might require sudo), depending on the `$fpath` of your zsh installation.
In case of error, calling `compaudit` might help.
- For bash:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx.git ~/.kubectx

cat << FOE >> ~/.bashrc
#kubectx and kubens
export PATH=~/.kubectx:\$PATH
FOE
```
- For fish:
```fish
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions
ln -s /opt/kubectx/completion/kubectx.fish ~/.config/fish/completions/

If you also want to have shell completions, pick an installation method for the [completion scripts](completion/) that fits your system best: [`zsh` with `antibody`](#completion-scripts-for-zsh-with-antibody), [plain `zsh`](#completion-scripts-for-plain-zsh), [`bash`](#completion-scripts-for-bash) or [`fish`](#completion-scripts-for-fish).

#### Completion scripts for `zsh` with [antibody](https://getantibody.github.io)

Add this line to your [Plugins File](https://getantibody.github.io/usage/) (e.g. `~/.zsh_plugins.txt`):

```
ahmetb/kubectx path:completion kind:fpath
```

Depending on your setup, you might or might not need to call `compinit` or `autoload -U compinit && compinit` in your `~/.zshrc` after you load the Plugins file. If you use [oh-my-zsh](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh), load the completions before you load `oh-my-zsh` because `oh-my-zsh` will call `compinit`.

#### Completion scripts for plain `zsh`
The completion scripts have to be in a path that belongs to `$fpath`. Either link or copy them to an existing folder.

Example with [`oh-my-zsh`](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh):

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions
chmod -R 755 ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions
ln -s /opt/kubectx/completion/_kubectx.zsh ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions/_kubectx.zsh
ln -s /opt/kubectx/completion/_kubens.zsh ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions/_kubens.zsh
```

If completion doesn't work, add `autoload -U compinit && compinit` to your `.zshrc` (similar to [`zsh-completions`](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions/blob/master/README.md#oh-my-zsh)).

If you are not using [`oh-my-zsh`](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh), you could link to `/usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion` (might require sudo), depending on the `$fpath` of your zsh installation.

In case of errors, calling `compaudit` might help.

#### Completion scripts for `bash`

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx.git ~/.kubectx
COMPDIR=$(pkg-config --variable=completionsdir bash-completion)
ln -sf ~/.kubectx/completion/kubens.bash $COMPDIR/kubens
ln -sf ~/.kubectx/completion/kubectx.bash $COMPDIR/kubectx
cat << EOF >> ~/.bashrc
#kubectx and kubens
export PATH=~/.kubectx:\$PATH
EOF
```

#### Completion scripts for `fish`

```fish
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions
ln -s /opt/kubectx/completion/kubectx.fish ~/.config/fish/completions/
ln -s /opt/kubectx/completion/kubens.fish ~/.config/fish/completions/
```

### Interactive mode

If you want `kubectx` and `kubens` commands to present you an interactive menu
with fuzzy searching, you just need to [install
`fzf`](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) in your PATH.
