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

1. Install and configure Kubernetes command-line interface (Kubectl), 1.21.x or later versions, to create and manage your deployments in your Kubernetes cluster. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/.
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 namespace. The following command creates a namespace with the name otmm.

   Sample Command

   kubectl create ns otmm

   Sample Response

   namespace/otmm created

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