@kapa.ai where does abctl install airbyte to on the filesystem?

Based on the provided knowledge sources, abctl installs Airbyte into a kind (Kubernetes in Docker) cluster on your local machine. The specific location on the filesystem where abctl stores Airbyte-related files is in the
.airbyte
directory under the user's home directory. Here are the relevant details: 1. The Airbyte configuration and kubeconfig file are stored in
~/.airbyte/abctl/abctl.kubeconfig
[Deploying-airbyte > Troubleshooting abctl > FAQ](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/troubleshoot-deploy#faq). 2. When interacting with the Kubernetes resources created by abctl, you can use kubectl with the following command, which points to the kubeconfig file in the
.airbyte
directory:
Copy code
kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.airbyte/abctl/abctl.kubeconfig --namespace airbyte-abctl get pods
[Deploying-airbyte > Troubleshooting abctl > FAQ](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/troubleshoot-deploy#faq) It's important to note that abctl uses kind to create a Kubernetes cluster using Docker, rather than installing Airbyte directly on the filesystem. The actual Airbyte components run inside this kind cluster, which is managed by Docker.
