Install the MKE image¶

To install MKE:

Log in to the target host using Secure Shell (SSH).
Pull the latest version of MKE:
```
docker image pull mirantis/ucp:3.7.15
```
Install MKE:
```
docker container run --rm -it --name ucp \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
mirantis/ucp:3.7.15 install \
--host-address <node-ip-address> \
--interactive
```
The ucp install command runs in interactive mode, prompting you for the necessary configuration values. For more information about the ucp install command, including how to install MKE on a system with SELinux enabled, refer to the MKE Operations Guide: mirantis/ucp install.

Note

MKE installs Project Calico for Kubernetes container-to-container communication. However, you may install an alternative CNI plugin, such as Cilium, Weave, or Flannel. For more information, refer to the MKE Operations Guide: Installing an unmanaged CNI plugin.
