Hi @ppincet !

To follow that tutorial from the CLI you’ll need to have kubectl installed. You can follow their official documentation [here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/#kubectl)

Another alternative could be to sign into [cloud.okteto.com](http://cloud.okteto.com) and deploy from the UI
