You can install the kubectl client via Chocolatey. This is the recommended way based on the kubernetes.io docs.

choco install kubernetes-cli

$ kubectxwin ls * minikube mydevcluster sandbox $ kubectxwin set sandbox Switched to context "sandbox". $ kubectxwin set 'n/a' Context "no-context" modified. Switched to context "no-context". $ kubectxwin rn sandbox sandbox-old Context "sandbox" renamed to "sandbox-old". $ kubectxwin ls minikube mydevcluster * sandbox $ kubectxwin sandbox

You will need to ensure you put kubectxwin.exe in a directory in your $PATH. To see what directories you can put it in use the following command.

In a Windows Command Prompt

echo %PATH%

In a Powershell Command Prompt

PS> Get-ChildItem Env:

kubectxwin for Windows is actually a powershell script that was converted using PS2EXE-GUI. I have saved the copy of PS2EXE-GUI that I used in this repo.

This allows users and developers to use different methods of kubectxwin for Windows. For example, if you want just to use the Powershell script or convert it to a PowerShell module, you can do that. By default, I provide the .exe because that is useful to me. However, feel free to use it anyway you like and please CONTRIBUTE with new features and funtionaility.

I'd love for anyone to contribute. Please read the CONTRIBUTING.md document for more information.

• Windows 10 or higher
• PS2EXE-GUI
• Powershell 4.0 or higher (I used 5.0)

Open a Powershell command with Run as administrator

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned git clone https://github.com/thomasliddledba/kubectxwin.git <working directory> cd <working directory>/kubectxwin ./PS2EXE-GUI/ps2exe.ps1 -inputfile kubectxwin.ps1 -output bin/kubectxwin.exe
