Install the MKE image#

To install MKE:

  1. Log in to the target host using Secure Shell (SSH).

  2. Pull the latest version of MKE:

    docker image pull {{ page.ucp_org }}/{{ page.ucp_repo }}:{{ page.ucp_version }}

  3. Install MKE:

    docker container run --rm -it --name ucp \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
{{ page.ucp_org }}/{{ page.ucp_repo }}:{{ page.ucp_version }} 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.
