I’m encountering the same issue.

user@sqa02:/etc/kubernetes$ mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
user@sqa02:/etc/kubernetes$ sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
cp: cannot stat '/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf': No such file or directory

root@sqa03:~# kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at http://localhost:8080

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
