## Install K3s on Linux
Rancher needs to be installed on a supported Kubernetes version. To specify the K3s version, use the INSTALL_K3S_VERSION (e.g., `INSTALL_K3S_VERSION="v1.24.10+k3s1"`) environment variable when running the K3s installation script. Refer to the [support maintenance terms](https://rancher.com/support-maintenance-terms/).
Install a K3s cluster by running this command on the Linux machine:
```
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_VERSION="***" sh -s - server --cluster-init
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_VERSION=<VERSION> sh -s - server --cluster-init
```
Rancher needs to be installed on a supported Kubernetes version. To specify the K3s version, use the INSTALL_K3S_VERSION environment variable when running the K3s installation script. Refer to the [support maintenance terms](https://rancher.com/support-maintenance-terms/).
Using `--cluster-init` allows K3s to use embedded etcd as the datastore and has the ability to convert to an HA setup. Refer to [High Availability with Embedded DB](https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ha-embedded/).
Save the IP of the Linux machine.

In some cases it may need to make sure that your shell has the environment variable `KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config` defined, for instance, it can be exported in your profile or rc files.
