## Install Crossplane

Crossplane installs into an existing Kubernetes cluster. 

{{< hint type="tip" >}}
If you don't have a Kubernetes cluster create one locally with [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/).
{{< /hint >}}


### Install the Crossplane Helm chart

Helm enables Crossplane to install all its Kubernetes components through a _Helm Chart_.

Enable the Crossplane Helm Chart repository:

```shell
helm repo add \
crossplane-stable https://charts.crossplane.io/stable
helm repo update
```

Run the Helm dry-run to see all the Crossplane components Helm installs.

```shell
helm install crossplane \
crossplane-stable/crossplane \
--dry-run --debug \
--namespace crossplane-system \
--create-namespace
```
{{<expand "View the Helm dry-run" >}}
```shell
helm install crossplane \
crossplane-stable/crossplane \
--dry-run --debug \
--namespace crossplane-system \
--create-namespace

NOTES:
Release: crossplane

Chart Name: crossplane
Chart Description: Crossplane is an open source Kubernetes add-on that enables platform teams to assemble infrastructure from multiple vendors, and expose higher level self-service APIs for application teams to consume.
Chart Version: 1.13.0
Chart Application Version: 1.13.0

Kube Version: v1.27.4
```
{{< /expand >}}

Install the Crossplane components using `helm install`.

```shell
helm install crossplane \
crossplane-stable/crossplane \
--namespace crossplane-system \
--create-namespace
```

Verify Crossplane installed with `kubectl get pods`.

```shell {copy-lines="1"}
kubectl get pods -n crossplane-system
NAME                                      READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
crossplane-d4cd8d784-ldcgb                1/1     Running   0          54s
crossplane-rbac-manager-84769b574-6mw6f   1/1     Running   0          54s
```

Installing Crossplane creates new Kubernetes API end-points.  
Look at the new API end-points with `kubectl api-resources  | grep crossplane`.

```shell  {label="grep",copy-lines="1"}
kubectl api-resources  | grep crossplane
