Installation

To install Kyverno in your cluster run the following command on a host with kubectl access:

kubectl create -f https://github.com/nirmata/kyverno/raw/master/definitions/install.yaml

To check the Kyverno controller status, run the command:

kubectl get pods -n kyverno

If the Kyverno controller is not running, you can check its status and logs for errors:

kubectl describe pod <kyverno-pod-name> -n kyverno

kubectl logs <kyverno-pod-name> -n kyverno

Installing in a Development Environment

To run Kyverno in a development environment see: https://github.com/nirmata/kyverno/wiki/Building

The Kyverno CLI allows you to write and test policies without installing Kyverno in a Kubernetes cluster.
