Prerequisites

Before getting started with OpenEverest, we recommend that you:

1. Install Helm v3 ↗ to install OpenEverest using Helm.

2. Install yq ↗ to install OpenEverest using Helm.

3. Verify that you have access to the Kubernetes cluster that you want to use with OpenEverest. By default, OpenEverest uses the kubeconfig file available under ~/.kube/config. Run the following command:

   kubectl get nodes

   Expected output

       NAME                                       STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION

Before you install OpenEverest

You can install OpenEverest using one of the following methods:

• Helm charts

• everestctl, which connects OpenEverest to your Kubernetes cluster.

Once you’ve installed OpenEverest, you can easily log into the OpenEverest UI by following the setup instructions in the next section.

tip

OpenEverest assists with installing all the necessary operators and required packages, but does not currently help with spinning up a Kubernetes cluster.

OpenEverest is designed to run on any CNCF-conformant Kubernetes cluster, whether managed by a cloud provider or self-hosted on-premises. See Supported Kubernetes versions for the list of tested versions.
