# OpenShift Clients The OpenShift client `oc.exe` simplifies working with Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters, offering a number of advantages over `kubectl.exe` such as easy login, kube config file management, and access to developer tools. To learn more about OpenShift, visit [docs.openshift.com](https://docs.openshift.com) and select the version of OpenShift you are using. ## Installing the tools After extracting this archive, move the `oc.exe` binary to a location on your PATH. Then run: oc login [API_URL] to start a session against an OpenShift cluster. After login, run `oc.exe` and `oc.exe help` to learn more about how to get started with OpenShift. If you would like to use `kubectl.exe` instead, copy the `oc.exe` file and rename it to `kubectl.exe`. The interface will follow the conventions of that CLI. ## License OpenShift is licensed under the Apache Public License 2.0.
