<h1 id="getting-started">Getting started</h1>
<p>External-secrets runs within your Kubernetes cluster as a deployment resource.
It utilizes CustomResourceDefinitions to configure access to secret providers through SecretStore resources
and manages Kubernetes secret resources with ExternalSecret resources.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: The minimum supported version of Kubernetes is <code>1.16.0</code>. Users still running Kubernetes v1.15 or below should upgrade
to a supported version before installing external-secrets.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="installing-with-helm">Installing with Helm</h2>
<p>To automatically install and manage the CRDs as part of your Helm release, you must add the --set installCRDs=true flag to your Helm installation command.</p>
<p>Uncomment the relevant line in the next steps to enable this.</p>
