## Prerequisites
Before deploying LitmusChaos, make sure the following items are there
- Kubernetes 1.17 or later
- A Persistent volume of 20GB
:::note
Recommend to have a Persistent volume(PV) of 20GB, You can start with 1GB for test purposes as well. This PV is used as persistent storage to store the chaos config and chaos-metrics in the Portal. By default, litmus install would use the default storage class to allocate the PV. Provide this value
:::
- [Helm3](https://v3.helm.sh/) or [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/#kubectl)
## Installation
Installation of Litmus can be done using either of the below methods
- [Helm3](#install-litmus-using-helm) chart
- [Kubectl](#install-litmus-using-kubectl) yaml spec file
### Install Litmus using Helm
The helm chart will install all the required service account configuration and ChaosCenter.
The following steps will help you install Litmus ChaosCenter via helm.
#### Step-1: Add the litmus helm repository
```bash
helm repo add litmuschaos https://litmuschaos.github.io/litmus-helm/
helm repo list
```
#### Step-2: Create the namespace on which you want to install Litmus ChaosCenter
- The ChaosCenter can be placed in any namespace, but for this scenario we are choose `litmus` as the namespace.
```bash
kubectl create ns litmus
```
#### Step-3: Install Litmus ChaosCenter
```bash
helm install chaos litmuschaos/litmus --namespace=litmus
```

NAME: chaos
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Jun 15 19:20:09 2021
NAMESPACE: litmus
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
Thank you for installing litmus 😀
Your release is named chaos and its installed to namespace: litmus.
Visit https://docs.litmuschaos.io to find more info.
```
> **Note:** Litmus uses Kubernetes CRDs to define chaos intent. Helm3 handles CRDs better than Helm2. Before you start running a chaos experiment, verify if Litmus is installed correctly.
### **Install Litmus using kubectl **
#### **Install Litmus ChaosCenter**
Applying the manifest file will install all the required service account configuration and ChaosCenter.
```bash
kubectl apply -f https://litmuschaos.github.io/litmus/2.0.0/litmus-2.0.0.yaml
```
---
## **Verify your installation**
#### **Verify if the frontend, server, and database pods are running**
- Check the pods in the namespace where you installed Litmus:
```bash
kubectl get pods -n litmus
```
<span style={{color: 'green'}}><b>Expected Output</b></span>
```bash
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
litmusportal-frontend-97c8bf86b-mx89w 1/1 Running 2 6m24s
litmusportal-server-5cfbfc88cc-m6c5j 2/2 Running 2 6m19s
mongo-0 1/1 Running 0 6m16s
```
- Check the services running in the namespace where you installed Litmus:
```bash
kubectl get svc -n litmus
```
<span style={{color: 'green'}}><b>Expected Output</b></span>
```bash
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
litmusportal-frontend-service NodePort 10.100.105.154 <none> 9091:30229/TCP 7m14s
litmusportal-server-service NodePort 10.100.150.175 <none> 9002:30479/TCP,9003:31949/TCP 7m8s
mongo-service ClusterIP 10.100.226.179 <none> 27017/TCP 7m6s
```
---
## **Accessing the ChaosCenter**
To setup and login to ChaosCenter expand the available services just created and copy the `PORT` of the `litmusportal-frontend-service` service
```bash
kubectl get svc -n litmus
```
<span style={{color: 'green'}}><b>Expected Output</b></span>
```bash
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
chaos-litmus-portal-mongo ClusterIP 10.104.107.117 <none> 27017/TCP 2m
litmusportal-frontend-service NodePort 10.101.81.70 <none> 9091:30385/TCP 2m
litmusportal-server-service NodePort 10.108.151.79 <none> 9002:32456/TCP,9003:31160/TCP 2m
```
> **Note**: In this case, the PORT for `litmusportal-frontend-service` is `30385`. Yours will be different.
Once you have the PORT copied in your clipboard, simply use your IP and PORT in this manner `<NODEIP>:<PORT>` to access the Litmus ChaosCenter.
For example:
```yaml
http://172.17.0.3:30385/
```
> Where `172.17.0.3` is my NodeIP and `30385` is the frontend service PORT. If using a LoadBalancer, the only change would be to provide a `<LoadBalancerIP>:<PORT>`. [Learn more about how to access ChaosCenter with LoadBalancer](../user-guides/setup-without-ingress.md#with-loadbalancer)
You should be able to see the Login Page of Litmus ChaosCenter. The **default credentials** are
```yaml
Username: admin
Password: litmus
```
<img src={require('../assets/login.png').default} width="800" />
By default you are assigned with a default project with Owner permissions.
<img src={require('../assets/landing-page.png').default} width="800" />
## **Verify Successful Registration of the Self Agent**
Once the project is created, the cluster is automatically registered as a chaos target via installation of [ChaosAgents](resources.md#chaosagents). This is represented as [Self-Agent](resources.md#types-of-chaosagents) in [ChaosCenter](resources.md#chaoscenter).
```bash
kubectl get pods -n litmus
```
```bash
