Unable to install Kubernetes Latest version following the official installation guide on CentOS 7 on a VM

Question

When I execute the following commands (taken from the official installation guide for kubernetes), the output is unexpected (shown below: ) Command (On CentOS 7):

cat < /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/kubernetes-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg 
https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
exclude=kube*
EOF
setenforce 0
yum install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl
systemctl enable kubelet && systemctl start kubelet

Output:

What you expected to happen:

kubeadm, kubeclt and kubelet get installed and are enabled

Run the above mentioned commands on centos 7 (by following the guide at https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/install-kubeadm/)

Answer 1

You seem to be missing <<EOF at the end of the first line.

Also, I can see there is a mistake in the docs.

Line containing exclude=kube* should be removed.

It should be as follows:

cat <<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/kubernetes-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
EOF
setenforce 0
yum install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl
systemctl enable kubelet && systemctl start kubelet

Answer 2

It worked for me after removing following line from the kubernetes.repo:

exclude=kubelet kubeadm kubectl
