For Guidance on how to install OLM, follow this https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-lifecycle-manager/blob/master/doc/install/install.md#install-a-release[guide]. The Keycloak Operator OLM package can be installed from the OLM catalog. For general instructions on how to install operators using OLM, follow the https://olm.operatorframework.io/docs/tasks/install-operator-with-olm/[instructions] on the OLM page. In the default Catalog, the Keycloak Operator is named `keycloak-operator`. Make sure to use the `candidate` channel to find the operator. ==== OpenShift UI On OpenShift, use the built-in OLM UI to install the Keycloak Operator. Navigate to `Home`, `Operators`, `OperatorHub` using the menu on the left side of the OpenShift Console. Search for "keycloak" on the search input box: image::{generatedGuideImages}/select-operator.jpeg["Select the Keycloak Operator in the UI"] Select the Keycloak Operator from the list of results. After that, follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you are installing from the `fast` channel: image::{generatedGuideImages}/configure-operator.jpeg["Configure Keycloak Operator"] === Vanilla Kubernetes Installation To install the operator on a vanilla Kubernetes cluster, you first need to install its CRDs by running the following commands: [source,bash,subs="attributes+"] ---- kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keycloak/keycloak-k8s-resources/{version}/kubernetes/keycloaks.k8s.keycloak.org-v1.yml kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keycloak/keycloak-k8s-resources/{version}/kubernetes/keycloakrealmimports.k8s.keycloak.org-v1.yml ---- After successful CRD installation, install the Keycloak Operator deployment by running the following command: [source,bash,subs="attributes+"] ---- kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keycloak/keycloak-k8s-resources/{version}/kubernetes/kubernetes.yml ---- Currently the operator watches only the namespace where the operator is installed.
