We have a few options for setting up the prerequisites for our development environment. While we'll use a Linux client on our local machine in this example, you can also use the Google Cloud Shell to simplify your dependencies and setup. You can check out that documentation at https://cloud.google.com/shell/docs/, and then jump down to the gcloud auth login portion of the tutorial.
Getting back to the local installation, let's make sure that our environment is properly set up before we install Kubernetes. Start by updating the packages:
$ sudo apt-get update
You should see something similar to the following output:
$ sudo apt update[sudo] password for user:Hit:1 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease ...
