3.4.4 Install the Required Software for OpenShift

Before installing MicroTx in OpenShift, you must install and configure the required software on your local machine.

Skip this step if you are using Kubernetes.

Perform the following steps to install the required software and configure the environment in your local machine:

1. Install and configure OpenShift command-line interface, 4.14.x or later versions, to create and manage your deployments in OpenShift cluster. See https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.15/cli_reference/index.html.
2. Install the latest version of Helm 3.x on your local machine. For more information, see https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/.
   Use Helm to make deployments easier as you can run a single command to install applications and resources into Kubernetes clusters. Helm interacts with the Kubernetes API server to install, upgrade, query, and remove Kubernetes resources.
3. Create a project. The following command creates a project with the name otmm.

   Sample Command

   oc new-project otmm

   Note down the name of the project. Later, you will deploy MicroTx in this project.
