Procedure

1. On your bastion host, log in to the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform cluster as a cluster administrator:

   oc login <cluster host:port> --username=<cluster admin user> --password=<cluster admin password>
   

2. Create an environment variable for the namespace where you want to deploy the IBM RPA instance and select it in the command line, replacing <YOUR_NAMESPACE> with the name of your namespace.

   export NAMESPACE=<YOUR_NAMESPACE>
   oc project $NAMESPACE
   

   Note: If you don't have a namespace set up already, use the following command to create it first:

   oc new-project $NAMESPACE
   ```   </div>
