3. Installation¶

Install cert-manager.
Make sure that kubectl is set up to access your cluster.
Download kubedr.yaml from the Releases page.

Note

We are also working on supporting Helm installs in the future.
Apply the downloaded kubedr.yaml, like so:
```
$ kubectl apply -f kubedr.yaml
```
Note that the following two images are required for Kubedr to work.
- catalogicsoftware/kubedrutil:0.1.0
- catalogicsoftware/kubedr:0.1.0
Applying kubedr.yaml will create a new namespace called kubedr-system and starts all the necessary pods, services, webhooks, and deployments in that namespace. It also installs the following Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs):
- BackupLocation
- MetadataBackupPolicy
- MetadataBackupRecord
To verify that installation is successful, run the following command and ensure that all the resources are in running state.

$ kubectl -n kubedr-system get all
