InstallationSetup

In this guide, you'll learn how to install and configure Kustomize—a powerful tool for customizing Kubernetes configurations. Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A running Kubernetes cluster.
• kubectl installed on your local machine and configured to connect to your cluster.
• A compatible operating system (Linux, Windows, or macOS).

The Kustomize installation script automatically detects your operating system and installs the appropriate version.

Installing Kustomize

To install Kustomize, open your terminal and execute the command below. This command downloads and runs the installation script:

curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/master/hack/install_kustomize.sh" | bash

Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by running:

kustomize version --short

You should see an output similar to the following:

{kustomize/v4.4.1 2021-11-11T23:36:27Z}
