Could not construct reference to Endpoints

[ekmobile]

I'm using Kubernetes 1.27.2 on Docker Desktop for macOS. I reset the Kubernetes Cluster before running any command.

After running

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/nats-io/nats-operator/releases/latest/download/00-prereqs.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/nats-io/nats-operator/releases/latest/download/10-deployment.yaml

as described at https://github.com/nats-io/nats-operator I get the following error:

Thanks for you help.
