+To make kubectl work for your non-root user, you might want to run these commands (which is also a part of the `kubeadm init` output):
+```
+  mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
+  sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
+  sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
+```
+Alternatively, if you are the root user, you could run this:
+```
+export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf
+```

 Make a record of the `kubeadm join` command that `kubeadm init` outputs. You
 will need this in a moment.
