When trying to execute any “kubectl” command on an EKS cluster, the following error occurs:
Invalid choice: ‘eks’, maybe you meant:
A possible reason for this is the old version of “kubectl” available in the repository.
Solution:
Install the latest version of “kubectl” using PIP3
sudo yum install -y python3 python3-pip sudo pip3 install --upgrade --user awscli
To use “kubectl” installed using PIP, you need the PIP binary files directory to be in the PATH variable, to do this:
export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH source ~/.bash_profile
In order not to do this every time, you need to add the line:
export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
In your profile, depends on the shell:
- Bash – .bash_profile, .profile, or .bash_login
- Zsh – .zshrc
- Tcsh – .tcshrc, .cshrc or .login
