# Installation

This document describes installation procedure for jenkins-operator.

## Requirements
 
To run jenkins-operator, you will need:
- running Kubernetes cluster
- kubectl
- optionally Kubernetes namespace for jenkins-operator

## Configure Custom Resource Definition 

Install Jenkins Custom Resource Definition:

```bash
kubectl create -f deploy/crds/virtuslab_v1alpha1_jenkins_crd.yaml
```

## Deploy jenkins-operator

Deploy jenkins-operator with RBAC (it may take some time):

```bash
kubectl create -f deploy/service_account.yaml
kubectl create -f deploy/role.yaml
kubectl create -f deploy/role_binding.yaml
kubectl create -f deploy/operator.yaml
```

Now jenkins-operator should be up and running within `default` namespace.
