This chart deploys Calico networking resources to an existing K8S cluster.
## Usage
Before using this chart, you will probably want to be familiar with the
concepts described the
[quick start guide](https://docs.tigera.io/calico/latest/getting-started/kubernetes/self-managed-onprem/onpremises).
### Install
To install this chart follow these steps.
1. Install the {term}`calicoctl` executable.
```shell
cd /usr/local/bin/
curl -L https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/releases/download/v3.28.1/calicoctl-linux-amd64 \
-o calicoctl
sudo chmod +x calicoctl
```
2. Install the {term}`kubectl` plugin for {term}`calicoctl`.
```shell
cd /usr/local/bin
curl -L https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/releases/download/v3.28.1/calicoctl-linux-amd64 \
-o kubectl-calico
sudo chmod +x kubectl-calico
```
3. Create a namespace for Calico.
```shell
kubectl create ns calico-system
```
4. Sort out the best choice for your network.
You can find information on how to do that
[here](https://docs.tigera.io/calico/latest/networking/determine-best-networking).
5. Adjust the contents of {file}`values.yaml` for your network.
6. Install the chart.
```shell
helm -n calico-system install calico .
```
7. Continue with configuring your clusters networking.
### Uninstall
This can be done in the usual way.
```shell
helm -n calico-system uninstall calico
```
## Calico
The recommended method for installing Calico for networking is with the
[Tigera Operator](https://docs.tigera.io/calico/latest/getting-started/kubernetes/self-managed-onprem/onpremises).
1. Install the operator.
```{code-block} shell
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.28.2/manifests/tigera-operator.yaml
```
Success looks like this.
```{code-block} shell
