I had installed kubernetes using this command

> choco install kubernetes-cli

on MS Windows. How to configure them in order to use it?

I tried with several approach but still cannot get them solve.

Error message is

> Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp [::1]:8080: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

`kubectl create ns chaos-mesh`

Please help. Thanks in advance.
