Also you need to have atleast 4vCPUs, 9GB RAM and 35GB disk space. The RAM is a hard stop so make sure you have around 10GB on the Desktop/Laptop that you are using to install comfortably. You would have to register for a free redhat/developer account. 1.  Download the Code Ready container archive from this link – [https://developers.redhat.com/products/codeready-containers/overview](https://developers.redhat.com/products/codeready-containers/overview) [![codeready-download-1](https://www.conversesystems.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/codeready-download-1-Mar-15-2021-01-35-23-87-PM.png "codeready-download-1")](https://www.iseriesportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/codeready-download-1.png) 2. Extract the downloaded file and change to the directory. [![tar-crc-2](https://www.conversesystems.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/tar-crc-2-Mar-15-2021-01-35-20-20-PM.png "tar-crc-2")](https://www.iseriesportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/tar-crc-2.png) [![crc-extracted-3](https://www.conversesystems.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/crc-extracted-3-Mar-15-2021-01-35-11-10-PM.png "crc-extracted-3")](https://www.iseriesportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/crc-extracted-3.png) [![change to the crc directory-4](https://www.conversesystems.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/change-to-the-crc-directory-4-Mar-15-2021-01-35-18-96-PM.png "change to the crc directory-4")](https://www.iseriesportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/change-to-the-crc-directory-4.png)  3. Run the crc setup command and provide the admin password. If the requirements are met the setup script will complete.

Run crc start to start the cluster [![crc-start-image-pull-secret](https://www.conversesystems.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/7_-crc-start-image-pull-secret-Mar-15-2021-01-35-08-92-PM.png "7. crc-start-image-pull-secret")](https://www.iseriesportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/7.-crc-start-image-pull-secret.png) 5. Get the pull secret from from here – [https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift/install/pull-secret](https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift/install/pull-secret) You might need to login into your redhat account if not already logged in.

After the cluster has started, take a note of your login credentials and the oc env commands to run. [![oc-credentials](https://www.conversesystems.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/10_-oc-credentials-Mar-15-2021-01-35-22-97-PM.png "10. oc-credentials")](https://www.iseriesportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/10.-oc-credentials.png) [![oc-env](https://www.conversesystems.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/11_-oc-env-Mar-15-2021-01-35-16-62-PM.png "11. oc-env")](https://www.iseriesportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/11.-oc-env.png) 7.

Use crc console to open the web console and test the kubeadmin credentials. Note that you would have to accept the warnings for the certificate and proceed to the site.
