<p>I installed gcloud SDK and everything went fine. However I'm trying to use kubectl and it hasn't been installed.</p>

<p>I run the following commands:</p>

<pre><code>gcloud components update preview
All components are up to date.
gcloud components update alpha
All components are up to date.
</code></pre>

<p>So seems like everything is up to date. However command kubectl is not there.</p>

<p>This is not a PATH issue because I checked the file in gcloud's bin folder and it is there as it is in other of my installations where it was installed correctly.</p>

<p>I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on AWS.</p>

<p>It appears that you need to run <code>gcloud components update kubectl</code>. I'm not sure why (this didn't used to be required). </p>
