Failed to install google-cloud-sdk-gke-gcloud-auth-plugin

[RendyH97]

Hi There,

I just created Linux Compute Engine with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I tried to install :
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk-gke-gcloud-auth-plugin 

But always failed like this:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package google-cloud-sdk-gke-gcloud-auth-plugin

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thank you very much.

Hi @dionv 

After i run this command on Terminal :

1. Import google public key : curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg

2. Add the gcloud CLI distribution URI as a package source : echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list

I success to install kubectl with apt-get.

Thank You very Much
