kubectl info exec fork exec usr local bin kubectl exec format error

Question

Hi Guys,

I installed kubectl in my system. I am trying to check version of kubectl, but it shows me the below error.

$ kubectl version
Failed to execute process '/usr/local/bin/kubectl'. Reason:
exec: Exec format error
The file '/usr/local/bin/kubectl' is marked as an executable but could not be run by the operating system.

Hi@akhtar,

The most common reason for this error is that after updating your Minikube installation, you also need to upgrade kubectl. So you have to upgrade your kubectl installation.

$ brew upgrade kubectl

Now you can start your minikube.
