<p>I'm trying to run Kubernetes on a local Centos server and have had some issues (for example, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36228065/kubernetes-dns-fails-in-kubernetes-1-2">with DNS</a>).  A version check shows that I'm running Kubernetes 1.2 Alpha 1.  Since the full release is now available from the <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Releases Download</a> page, I'd like to upgrade and see if that resolves my issue.  The <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/binary_release/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> for installing a prebuilt binary release states:</p>

<p><em>Download the latest release and unpack this tar file on Linux or OS X, cd to the created kubernetes/ directory, and then follow the getting started guide for your cloud.</em></p>

<p>However, the <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/centos/centos_manual_config/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Getting Started Guide for Centos</a> says nothing about using a prebuilt binary.  Instead, it tells you to set up a yum repo and run a yum install command:</p>

<pre><code>yum -y install --enablerepo=virt7-docker-common-release kubernetes
</code></pre>

<p>This command downloads and installs the Alpha1 release.  In addition, it attempts to install Docker 1.8 (two releases down from the current 1.10), which fails if Docker is already installed.</p>

<p>How can I install from a prebuilt binary and use an existing Docker?</p>

<p>According to the <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/#table-of-solutions" rel="nofollow">Table of Solutions</a> for installing Kubernetes, the maintainer of the CentOS getting started guide is <a href="https://github.com/coolsvap" rel="nofollow">@coolsvap</a>. You should reach out to him to ask about getting the pre-built binary updated to the official release. </p>
