$ gcloud components install kubectl Your current Google Cloud CLI version is: 447.0.0 Installing components from version: 447.0.0 ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ These components will be installed. │ ├────────────────────────┬─────────┬──────────┤ │ Name │ Version │ Size │ ├────────────────────────┼─────────┼──────────┤ │ gke-gcloud-auth-plugin │ 0.5.6 │ 7.9 MiB │ │ kubectl │ 1.27.5 │ 98.0 MiB │ │ kubectl │ 1.27.5 │ < 1 MiB │ └────────────────────────┴─────────┴──────────┘ For the latest full release notes, please visit: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/release_notes Do you want to continue (Y/n)? y ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ╠═ Creating update staging area ═╣ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ╠═ Installing: gke-gcloud-auth-plugin ═╣ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ╠═ Installing: gke-gcloud-auth-plugin ═╣ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ╠═ Installing: kubectl ═╣ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ╠═ Installing: kubectl ═╣ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ╠═ Creating backup and activating new installation ═╣ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Performing post processing steps...done.

You can also update the SDK and its components with:
$ gcloud components update Beginning update. This process may take several minutes. All components are up to date.
Verify Installation:
You can verify that the Google Cloud SDK is correctly installed by running:
$ gcloud --version Google Cloud SDK 447.0.0 bq 2.0.98 bundled-python3-unix 3.9.16 core 2023.09.15 gcloud-crc32c 1.0.0 gke-gcloud-auth-plugin 0.5.6 gsutil 5.25 kubectl 1.27.5
This should display the installed version of the Google Cloud SDK.
Now you have the Google Cloud SDK installed on your CentOS 8 system, and you can use it to interact with Google Cloud Platform services and manage your cloud resources.
