-1.  Download and install the `kubelet` and `kubectl` binaries:
-
-    ```shell
-    sudo wget -N -P /usr/bin http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.1.4/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl

-2.  Install the `kubelet` systemd unit file and start the `kubelet`:
-
-    ```shell
-    # Install the unit file
-    sudo wget -N -P /etc/systemd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico-cni/k8s-1.1-docs/samples/kubernetes/master/kubelet.service

-    sudo systemctl enable /etc/systemd/kubelet.service
-
-    # Start the kubelet service
-    sudo systemctl start kubelet.service
-    ```

-3.  Download and install the master manifest file, which will start the Kubernetes master services automatically:
-
-    ```shell
-    sudo mkdir -p /etc/kubernetes/manifests
-    sudo wget -N -P /etc/kubernetes/manifests https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico-cni/k8s-1.1-docs/samples/kubernetes/master/kubernetes-master.manifest

-4.  Check the progress by running `docker ps`.  After a while, you should see the `etcd`, `apiserver`, `controller-manager`, `scheduler`, and `kube-proxy` containers running.
