How to: Quickstart
**Note:** this quickstart does not provision an entire monitoring stack; if that is what you are looking for,
see the [kube-prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus) project. If you want the whole stack,
but have already applied the `bundle.yaml`, delete the bundle first (`kubectl delete -f bundle.yaml`).

To quickly try out *just* the Prometheus Operator inside a cluster, **choose a release** and run the following command which deploys the operator in the `default` namespace:

```sh
kubectl create -f bundle.yaml
```

If you want to deploy the Prometheus operator in a different namespace, you also need `kustomize`:

```sh
NAMESPACE=my_namespace kustomize edit set namespace $NAMESPACE && kubectl create -k .
```

> Note: make sure to adapt the namespace in the ClusterRoleBinding if deploying in a namespace other than the default namespace.

To run the Operator outside of a cluster:

```sh
make
scripts/run-external.sh
```
