Installing Tekton Triggers

Use this page to add the component to an existing Kubernetes cluster.

Pre-requisites

  1. A Kubernetes cluster version 1.15 or later

    If you don’t already have a cluster, you can create one for testing with kind. Install kind and create a cluster by running kind create cluster. This will create a cluster running locally, with RBAC enabled.

  2. Grant current user cluster-admin privileges.

    See Role-based access control for more information.

  3. Install Tekton Pipelines. You can install the latest version using the command below or follow the pipeline installation guide:
