| = Installing Camel K on OpenShift |
| |
| Installation of Camel K on OpenShift requires that you execute first some specific actions as cluster-admin. |
| |
| OpenShift does not always provide full cluster-admin rights to all users, so you may need to contact an administrator to install the |
| Kubernetes custom resources and roles needed by Camel K. |
| |
| You need to get the *kamel* CLI (_camel-k-client_) tool the from https://github.com/apache/camel-k/releases[release page] |
| and put it on your system path (e.g. on `/usr/bin/kamel` on Linux). |
| |
| To install the custom resource definitions and related roles, just execute (with **cluster-admin role**): |
| |
| ``` |
| kamel install --cluster-setup |
| ``` |
| |
| Once you've done this **only once per the whole cluster**, you can **login as a standard user** and |
| continue with the xref:installation/installation.adoc#procedure[standard Camel K installation procedure]. |
