# Install kn on Cloud Shell


Want to run the [Knative CLI](https://knative.dev/docs/install/client/install-kn/) tool `kn` in Google Cloud’s Cloud Shell? It’s easy:

Download the latest release from [github](https://github.com/knative/client/releases).

linux-amd64 is the platform you want for CloudShell. Here I download version 1.3.0:

```javascript
wget "https://github.com/knative/client/releases/download/knative-v1.3.0/kn-linux-amd64"
```

Then, move it into place, and add it to your PATH:

```php
chmod +x kn-linux-amd64
mkdir -p .local/bin
mv kn-linux-amd64 .local/bin/kn
echo 'export PATH=".local/bin:$PATH"' >> .bashrc
. .bashrc
```
