Hi all!  
I’m traing to install k3s on a centos7 distro thought [this guide](https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/quick-start/):

```auto
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -

```

but when i submit this command:

```auto
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

```

i have all pods pending:

```auto
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kube-system helm-install-traefik--1-5l7tm 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system helm-install-traefik-crd--1-f85cr 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system metrics-server-9cf544f65-h9f2d 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system local-path-provisioner-64ffb68fd-4cjzf 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system coredns-85cb69466-s72g9 0/1 Pending 0          
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kube-system helm-install-traefik--1-5l7tm 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system helm-install-traefik-crd--1-f85cr 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system metrics-server-9cf544f65-h9f2d 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system local-path-provisioner-64ffb68fd-4cjzf 0/1 Pending 0 17m
kube-system coredns-85cb69466-s72g9 0/1 Pending 0  

```

and no other information from **kubectl describe pods -A**. It seams all described have:

```auto
Events: <none>

```

I have all required resources (8 core cpu and 8 gb of ram).  
What could be?

Thanks for help!

The first thing needed to come up is etcd, so first thing to debug is do you have that running (and with K3S it might be an external other database and I’m not sure how it shows up). If etcd is fine and just isn’t a pod for some reason then next thing to note is you don’t have kube-apiserver or any of the other basic/generic Kubernetes pods running either, so the rest being pending makes sense.
