#### dotnet client

To use [dotnet client](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp),
run the following command: `dotnet add package KubernetesClient --version 1.6.1`.
See [dotnet Client Library page](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp)
for more installation options. See
[https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp/releases](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp/releases)
to see which versions are supported.

The dotnet client can use the same [kubeconfig file](/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/)
as the kubectl CLI does to locate and authenticate to the API server. See this
[example](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp/blob/master/examples/simple/PodList.cs):

```csharp
using System;
using k8s;

namespace simple
{
    internal class PodList
    {
        private static void Main(string[] args)
        {
