# Kubernetes User Guide: Managing Applications: Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
To deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes, you’ll use the Kubernetes command-line tool, [kubectl](../../docs/kubectl.md). It can be found in the release tar bundle, or can be built from source from github. Ensure that it is executable and in your path.
|
||
|
||
In order for kubectl to find and access the Kubernetes cluster, it needs a [kubeconfig file](../../docs/kubeconfig-file.md), which is created automatically when creating a cluster using kube-up.sh (see the [getting started guides](../../docs/getting-started-guides/) for more about creating clusters). If you need access to a cluster you didn’t create, see the [Sharing Cluster Access document](../../docs/sharing-clusters.md).
