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)

> 💡 **NOTE:** KEDA requires Kubernetes cluster version 1.16 and higher

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

    ```sh
    helm install keda kedacore/keda  --version 2.2.0 --namespace keda --create-namespace
    ```

> 💡 **NOTE:** Are you upgrading to v2.2.1 or above? Make sure to read [our troubleshooting guide](https://keda.sh/docs/latest/troubleshooting/) to fix potential CRD issues.

### Uninstall

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

```sh
helm uninstall keda -n keda
```

## Deploying with Operator Hub {#operatorhub}

### Install

1. On Operator Hub Marketplace locate and install KEDA operator to namespace `keda`
2. Create `KedaController` resource named `keda` in namespace `keda`

> 💡 **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 declaration which includes our CRDs and all other resources in a file which is available on the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases) page.
Run the following command (if needed, replace the version, in this case `2.2.0`, with the one you are using):

```sh
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases/download/v2.2.0/keda-2.2.0.yaml
```

- Alternatively you can download the file and deploy it from the local path:
```sh
kubectl apply -f keda-2.2.0.yaml
```

- You can also find the same YAML declarations in our `/config` 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

VERSION=2.2.0 make deploy
```

### Uninstall

- In case of installing from released YAML file just run the following command (if needed, replace the version, in this case `2.2.0`, with the one you are using):

```sh
kubectl delete -f https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases/download/v2.2.0/keda-2.2.0.yaml
```

- If you have downloaded the file locally, you can run:

```sh
kubectl delete -f keda-2.2.0.yaml
```

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

```sh
VERSION=2.2.0 make undeploy
```

## Deploying KEDA on MicroK8s {#microk8s}

### Install

If you want to try KEDA v2 on [MicroK8s](https://microk8s.io/) from `1.20` channel, KEDA is included into MicroK8s addons.

```sh
microk8s enable keda
```

### Uninstall

To uninstall KEDA in MicroK8s, simply disable the addon as shown below.

```sh
microk8s disable keda
```
