**How severe does this issue affect your experience of using Ray?** - High: It blocks me to complete my task. Hi there, I’m trying to install the KubeRay operator according to the documentation using the following command: `kubectl create -k "github.com/ray-project/kuberay/ray-operator/config/default?ref=v0.3.0&timeout=90s"` However, I’m getting the following error: `error: trouble checking out href v0.3.0&timeout=90s: exit status 1` I’ve also tried cloning the KubeRay GitHub repo and deploying the configuration using: `kubectl create kuberay\ray-operator\config\default` This throws `error: couldn't make loader for namespace.yaml: got file 'namespace.yaml', but 'C:\Users\...\kustomize-002098603\ray-operator\config\default\namespace.yaml' must be a directory to be a root` I feel like I’m missing something blatantly obvious, but I don’t know what. Any help is appreciated. 🙂 Thanks! ---

I found my own solution. My client version of kubectl was outdated (1.17). Upgrading to the latest version solved the problem. ---

Hi! Thanks for pointing out the version issue. Which doc page were you following? We can include a version requirement there so that others don’t run into this. ---

Thanks for the response! I’ve spent quite some time searching for solutions or alternatives to my problem, so I guess all doc pages related to KubeRay. At least the following documentation pages: - [Getting Started — Ray 2.1.0](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/cluster/kubernetes/getting-started.html) - [Deploying on Kubernetes — Ray 2.1.0](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/serve/production-guide/kubernetes.html) ---

I can only put two links in a post (new user). I found the following Github pages: - [Installation(Yaml) - KubeRay Docs](https://ray-project.github.io/kuberay/deploy/installation/) - [GitHub - ray-project/kuberay: A toolkit to run Ray applications on Kubernetes](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay#single-namespace-version) ---
