Install the Red Hat OpenShift FTM operator

The cluster administrator can use the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform user interface or the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform command-line interface to install the FTM operator. Install the FTM operator only once per namespace.

Install the FTM operator by using the user interface

Use the following instructions to install the FTM operator:

Use the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform user interface to log in to the cluster as an administrator.
Go to the OperatorHub and find the FTM operator. You can type FTM in the filter field to show only the FTM operator.
Select the FTM operator by clicking it in OperatorHub. Then, click Install to install it.
Select the A specific namespace on the cluster option for the installation mode of the operator, select the namespace to use, and select manual for the update approval option. Then, click Install.
View the installed operators on the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to confirm that the operator deployed successfully.

Install the FTM operator by using the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform command-line interface

After you log in to the cluster with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform command-line interface, use the following instructions to install the FTM operator on your Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster:

Run the following command to switch to the namespace to use.
```
oc project namespace
```

Create an OperatorGroup for the namespace if it does not exist. Replace namespace and operatorgroup_name with the appropriate values before you run the command.

oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
  name: operatorgroup_name
  namespace: namespace
spec:
  targetNamespaces:
  - namespace
EOF

Create a subscription object that Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform uses to install the FTM operator. Replace ftm-operator-channel-ver to match the channel for the FTM operator version you want to install.

oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
  name: ibm-ftm-operator
spec:
  channel: ftm-operator-channel-ver
  name: ibm-ftm-operator
  source: ibm-operator-catalog
  sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
  installPlanApproval: Manual
EOF

Run the following command to verify whether the installation is successful.
```
oc get csv/ibm-ftm-operator.ftm-operator-channel-ver
```
