## 🚀 Getting Started
### Prerequisites
* Kubernetes 1.33+
* Carvel [`kctrl`](https://carvel.dev/kapp-controller/docs/latest/install/#installing-kapp-controller-cli-kctrl) CLI.
* Carvel [kapp-controller](https://carvel.dev/kapp-controller) deployed in your Kubernetes cluster. You can install it with Carvel [`kapp`](https://carvel.dev/kapp/docs/latest/install) (recommended choice) or `kubectl`.
```shell
kapp deploy -a kapp-controller -y \
-f https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp-controller/releases/latest/download/release.yml
```
### Installation
Install the Kadras package repository in a dedicated namespace using `kctrl`:
```shell
kctrl package repository add -r kadras-packages \
--url ghcr.io/kadras-io/kadras-packages \
-n kadras-system --create-namespace
```
Installation via CRDs
Instead of installing the Kadras package repository with `kctrl`, you can apply the necessary Carvel CRDs directly using [`kapp`](https://carvel.dev/kapp/docs/latest/install), `kubectl` or a GitOps operator.
```shell
kubectl create namespace kadras-system
kapp deploy -a kadras-repo -n kadras-system -y \
-f https://github.com/kadras-io/kadras-packages/releases/latest/download/package-repository.yml
```
Verify the list of available Carvel package repositories and their status.
```shell
kctrl package repository list -n kadras-system
```
List all the Carvel packages available in the Kadras package repository.
```shell
kctrl package available list -n kadras-system
```
