## Installing by helm-charts
You can use one of the following official helm-charts with `vmoperator`:
- [victoria-metrics-operator helm-chart](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-operator/README.md)
- [victoria-metrics-k8s-stack helm chart](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/README.md)
(includes the `victoria-metrics-operator` helm-chart and other components for full-fledged k8s monitoring, is an alternative for [kube-prometheus-stack](https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack)).
For installing VictoriaMetrics operator with helm-chart follow the instructions from README of the corresponding helm-chart
([this](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-operator/README.md)
or [this](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/README.md)).
in addition, you can use [quickstart guide](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/quick-start) for
installing VictoriaMetrics operator with helm-chart.
## Installing by Manifest
Obtain release from releases page:
[https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases)
We suggest use the latest release.
```sh
# Get latest release version from https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest
export VM_VERSION=`basename $(curl -fs -o/dev/null -w %{redirect_url} https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest)`
wget https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/download/$VM_VERSION/install.yaml
```
Operator use `vm` namespace, but you can install it to specific namespace with command:
```sh
sed -i "s/namespace: vm/namespace: YOUR_NAMESPACE/g" install.yaml
```
and apply it:
```sh
kubectl apply -f install.yaml
```
Check the status of operator
```sh
kubectl get pods -n YOUR_NAMESPACE
#NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
#vm-operator-667dfbff55-cbvkf 1/1 Running 0 101s
```
## Installing by Kustomize
You can install operator using [Kustomize](https://kustomize.io/) by pointing to the remote kustomization file.
```sh
# Get latest release version from https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest
export VM_VERSION=`basename $(curl -fs -o/dev/null -w %{redirect_url} https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest)`
export NAMESPACE="whatever-namespace"
cat << EOF > kustomization.yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/config/base?ref=${VM_VERSION}
namespace: ${NAMESPACE}
images:
- name: manager
newName: victoriametrics/operator
newTag: ${VM_VERSION}
EOF
```
You can change [operator configuration](#configuring), or use your custom namespace see [kustomize-example](https://github.com/YuriKravetc/yurikravetc.github.io/tree/main/Operator/kustomize-example).
Build template
```sh
kustomize build . -o monitoring.yaml
```
Apply manifests
```sh
kubectl apply -f monitoring.yaml
```
Check the status of operator
```sh
kubectl get pods -n whatever-namespace
#NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
#vm-operator-667dfbff55-cbvkf 1/1 Running 0 101s
```
## Installing by OLM
### Installing to K8s
VictoriaMetrics operator OLM package is available at [OperatorHub](https://operatorhub.io/operator/victoriametrics-operator).
Installation instructions are available there.
### Installing to Openshift
Create `Subscription` manifest with `installPlanApproval` set to `Manual` to prevent unexpected upgrades.
```yaml
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
name: victoriametrics-operator
namespace: vm
spec:
channel: beta
installPlanApproval: Manual
name: victoriametrics-operator
source: community-operators
sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
startingCSV: victoriametrics-operator.v0.46.4
```
Apply manifest
```shell
oc apply -f manifest.yaml
```
After some time operator should be up and running in `vm` namespace
```shell
oc get pods -n vm
```
### Run locally
It's possible to build and run OLM package locally on Kind K8s cluster using `make deploy-kind-olm`.
Command builds operator image, bundle and index images, runs Kind with a local registry and deploys OLM package to Kind.
## Installing to ARM
There is no need in an additional configuration for ARM. Operator and VictoriaMetrics have full support for it.
## Configuring
You can read detailed instructions about operator configuring in [this document](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/configuration).
