 This article explains how to use SSH to connect to both Windows and Linux nodes.
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+### **Install the Kubernetes CLI**
+
+You can use the Kubernetes CLI, [**kubectl**](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/), to connect to your Kubernetes cluster. If you use Azure Cloud Shell, **kubectl** is already installed. If you run the commands locally, you can use the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell to install **kubectl**.

+
+  ```azurecli-interactive
+  az aks install-cli

 ## Use SSH to connect to worker nodes
 
 1. To access the Kubernetes cluster with the specified permissions, you must retrieve the certificate-based admin **kubeconfig** file using the [az aksarc get-credentials](/cli/azure/aksarc#az-aksarc-get-credentials) command. For more information, see [Retrieve certificate-based admin kubeconfig](retrieve-admin-kubeconfig.md):
