Error when checking the kubernetes version

Question

I am quite new to kubernetes and when i check the kubernetes version with kubectl version I am getting the following error.

Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"8", GitVersion:"v1.8.0", GitCommit:"6e937839ac04a38cac63e6a7a306c5d035fe7b0a", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-09-28T22:57:57Z", GoVersion:"go1.8.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"windows/amd64"}
    Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:6443: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Seems you have setup kubernetes via kubeadm. Please verify if your kubernetes is running or not.

systemctl restart kubeadm

After that check if port is listening or not

netstat -an | grep :6443
