$ gcloud components list

Then attempting to install kubectl
$ gcloud components install kubectl
You cannot perform this action because this Cloud SDK installation is
managed by an external package manager. If you would like to get the
latest version, please see our main download page at:
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/
ERROR: (gcloud.components.install) The component manager is disabled for this installation
Any idea why is this error raised?
