title = "Deploying KEDA"
+++

We provide a few approaches to deploy KEDA runtime in your Kubernetes clusters:

- [Helm charts](#helm)
- [Operator Hub](#operatorhub)
- [YAML declarations](#yaml)

Don't see what you need? Feel free to [create an issue](https://github.com/kedacore/keda/issues/new) on our GitHub repo.

## Deploying with Helm {#helm}

### Install

Deploying KEDA with Helm is very simple:

1. Add Helm repo

    ```sh
    helm repo add kedacore https://kedacore.github.io/charts
    ```

2. Update Helm repo

    ```sh
    helm repo update
    ```

3. Install `keda` Helm chart

    **Helm 2**

    ```sh
    helm install keda kedacore/keda  --version 1.4.2 --namespace keda --create-namespace
    ```

    **Helm 3**

    ```sh
    kubectl create namespace keda
    helm install keda kedacore/keda --version 1.4.2 --namespace keda
    ```

### Uninstall

If you want to remove KEDA from a cluster you can run one of the following:

**Using Helm 3**

```sh
helm uninstall -n keda keda
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kedacore/keda/v1.4.0/deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_scaledobjects_crd.yaml
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kedacore/keda/v1.4.0/deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_triggerauthentications_crd.yaml
```

**Using Helm 2**

```sh
helm delete --purge keda
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kedacore/keda/v1.4.0/deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_scaledobjects_crd.yaml
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kedacore/keda/v1.4.0/deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_triggerauthentications_crd.yaml
```

## Deploying with Operator Hub {#operatorhub}

### Install

1. On Operator Hub Marketplace locate and install KEDA operator
2. Create namespace `keda`
3. Create `KedaController` resource named `keda` in namespace `keda`
![Operator Hub installation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kedacore/keda-olm-operator/main/images/keda-olm-install.gif)
> 💡 **NOTE:**Further information on Operator Hub installation method can be found in the following [repository](https://github.com/kedacore/keda-olm-operator).

### Uninstall

Locate installed KEDA Operator in `keda` namespace, then remove created `KedaController` resource and uninstall KEDA operator.

## Deploying using the deployment YAML files {#yaml}

### Install

If you want to try KEDA on [Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io) or a different Kubernetes deployment without using Helm you can still deploy it with `kubectl`.

We provide sample YAML declarations which includes our CRD in the released zip and tar.gz package files which are available on the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases) page.
Download the zip or tar.gz file, unpack it, enter the unpacked folder and just run the following commands.

```sh
kubectl apply -f ./crds
kubectl apply -f ./
```

You can also find the same YAML declarations in our `/deploy` directory on our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/kedacore/keda) if you prefer to clone it.

```sh
git clone https://github.com/kedacore/keda && cd keda && git checkout tags/v1.4.1

kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_scaledobjects_crd.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_triggerauthentications_crd.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/
```

### Uninstall

You would need to run these commands from within the directory of the cloned [GitHub repo](https://github.com/kedacore/keda):

```sh
kubectl delete -f deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_scaledobjects_crd.yaml
kubectl delete -f deploy/crds/keda.k8s.io_triggerauthentications_crd.yaml
kubectl delete -f deploy/
```
