<p>I am trying to install kubernetes on ubuntu 16.04.
I am able to install other kubernetes components but i dont know if kube-proxy is installed? Should i get separate binary package for it or does it come prepackaged with kubernetes apt-get installation?</p>

<p>In regular apt-get packages you would normally find kubectl, kubeadm and kubelet. If you use kubeadm to create the cluster it will automatically prepare kube-proxy as well (in the form of a container, as the rest of the elements of the kubernetes control panel). Therefore, you wouldn't need to install it separately. </p>

<p>If you use the official kubernetes tarball and try to manually install the cluster by yourself, you will need to configure kube-proxy just like the rest of the elements, but the binaries will be included in the tarball. This documentation shows the essential options to configure it: <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/scratch/#kube-proxy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/scratch/#kube-proxy</a>.
