本文档假设您熟悉 kubectl并且您已经安装了它。或者，请参阅 第 2.1 节 “使用 Helm Charts 安装”。

可以使用带有 kubectl 的原始清单文件安装 MySQL Operator for Kubernetes；首先安装 MySQL Operator for Kubernetes 使用的自定义资源定义 (CRD)：

$> kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mysql/mysql-operator/trunk/deploy/deploy-crds.yaml

// Output is similar to:
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/innodbclusters.mysql.oracle.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/mysqlbackups.mysql.oracle.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/clusterkopfpeerings.zalando.org created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/kopfpeerings.zalando.org created

接下来为 Kubernetes 部署 MySQL Operator，它还包括 输出中指出的RBAC 定义：

$> kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mysql/mysql-operator/trunk/deploy/deploy-operator.yaml

// Output is similar to:
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/mysql-operator created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/mysql-sidecar created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/mysql-operator-rolebinding created
clusterkopfpeering.zalando.org/mysql-operator created
namespace/mysql-operator created
serviceaccount/mysql-operator-sa created
deployment.apps/mysql-operator created

通过检查在 mysql-operator 命名空间内管理操作器的部署来验证操作器是否正在运行，这是一个可配置的命名空间，定义如下 deploy-operator.yaml：

$> kubectl get deployment mysql-operator --namespace mysql-operator

MySQL Operator for Kubernetes 准备就绪后，输出应类似于以下内容：

NAME             READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
mysql-operator   1/1     1            1           37s

要使用 MySQL Operator for Kubernetes 创建 MySQL InnoDB 集群，请参阅 第 3 章，MySQL InnoDB 集群。
