> For upgrading existing KubeVela, please read the [upgrade guide](./advanced-install#upgrade).
## 1. Choose Kubernetes Cluster
Requirements:
- Kubernetes cluster >= v1.15.0
- `kubectl` installed and configured
KubeVela is a simple custom controller that can be installed on any Kubernetes cluster including managed offerings or your own clusters. The only requirement is please ensure [ingress-nginx](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/) is installed and enabled.
For for local deployment and test, you could use `minikube` or `kind`.
<Tabs
className="unique-tabs"
defaultValue="minikube"
values={[
{label: 'Minikube', value: 'minikube'},
{label: 'KinD', value: 'kind'},
]}>
<TabItem value="minikube">
Follow the minikube [installation guide](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/).
Then spins up a minikube cluster
```shell script
minikube start
```
Install ingress:
```shell script
minikube addons enable ingress
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="kind">
Follow [this guide](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installation) to install kind.
Then spins up a kind cluster:
```shell script
cat <<EOF | kind create cluster --image=kindest/node:v1.18.15 --config=-
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
kubeadmConfigPatches:
- |
kind: InitConfiguration
nodeRegistration:
kubeletExtraArgs:
node-labels: "ingress-ready=true"
extraPortMappings:
- containerPort: 80
hostPort: 80
protocol: TCP
- containerPort: 443
hostPort: 443
protocol: TCP
EOF
```
Then install [ingress for kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/ingress/#ingress-nginx):
```shell script
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/kind/deploy.yaml
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## 2. Install KubeVela
1. Add helm chart repo for KubeVela
```shell script
helm repo add kubevela https://kubevelacharts.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/core
```
2. Update the chart repo
```shell script
helm repo update
```
3. Install KubeVela
```shell script
helm install --create-namespace -n vela-system kubevela kubevela/vela-core
```
By default, it will enable the webhook with a self-signed certificate provided by [kube-webhook-certgen](https://github.com/jet/kube-webhook-certgen).
You can also [install it with `cert-manager`](./advanced-install#install-kubevela-with-cert-manager).
4. Verify chart installed successfully
```shell script
helm test kubevela -n vela-system
```
<details> <summary> Click to see the expected output of helm test </summary>
```shell
Pod kubevela-application-test pending
Pod kubevela-application-test pending
Pod kubevela-application-test running
Pod kubevela-application-test succeeded

## 3. Get KubeVela CLI
KubeVela CLI gives you a simplified workflow to manage applications with optimized output. It is not mandatory though.
KubeVela CLI could be [installed as kubectl plugin](./kubectl-plugin.mdx), or install as standalone binary.
<Tabs
className="unique-tabs"
defaultValue="script"
values={[
{label: 'Script', value: 'script'},
{label: 'Homebrew', value: 'homebrew'},
{label: 'Download directly from releases', value: 'download'},
]}>
<TabItem value="script">
** macOS/Linux **
```shell script
curl -fsSl https://kubevela.io/script/install.sh | bash
```
**Windows**
```shell script
powershell -Command "iwr -useb https://kubevela.io/script/install.ps1 | iex"
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="homebrew">
**macOS/Linux**
Update your brew firstly.
```shell script
brew update
```
Then install kubevela client.
```shell script
brew install kubevela
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="download">
- Download the latest `vela` binary from the [releases page](https://github.com/oam-dev/kubevela/releases).
- Unpack the `vela` binary and add it to `$PATH` to get started.
```shell script
sudo mv ./vela /usr/local/bin/vela
```
> Known Issue(https://github.com/oam-dev/kubevela/issues/625):
> If you're using mac, it will report that “vela” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
>
> The new version of MacOS is stricter about running software you've downloaded that isn't signed with an Apple developer key. And we haven't supported that for KubeVela yet.
> You can open your 'System Preference' -> 'Security & Privacy' -> General, click the 'Allow Anyway' to temporarily fix it.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## 4. Enable Helm Support
KubeVela leverages Helm controller from [Flux v2](https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2) to deploy [Helm](https://helm.sh/) based components.
You can enable this feature by installing a minimal Flux v2 chart as below:
```shell
helm install --create-namespace -n flux-system helm-flux http://oam.dev/catalog/helm-flux2-0.1.0.tgz
```
Or you could install full Flux v2 following its own guide of course.
## 5. Verify
Checking available application components and traits by `vela` CLI tool:
```shell script
vela components
```
```console
NAME NAMESPACE WORKLOAD DESCRIPTION
task vela-system jobs.batch Describes jobs that run code or a script to completion.
webservice vela-system deployments.apps Describes long-running, scalable, containerized services
that have a stable network endpoint to receive external
network traffic from customers.
worker vela-system deployments.apps Describes long-running, scalable, containerized services
that running at backend. They do NOT have network endpoint
to receive external network traffic.
```
These capabilities are built-in so they are ready to use if showed up. KubeVela is designed to be programmable and fully self-service, so the assumption is more capabilities will be added later per your own needs.
Also, whenever new capabilities are added in the platform, you will immediately see them in above output.
