# Installing Consul API Gateway
This topic describes how to use the Consul API Gateway add-on module. It includes instructions for installation and configuration.
## Requirements
Ensure that the environment you are deploying Consul API Gateway in meets the requirements listed in the [Technical Specifications][tech-specs]. This includes validating that the requirements for minimum versions of software are met. See the [Release Notes][rel-notes] for the version of API Gateway you are deploying.
## Installation
-> **Version reference convention:** Replace `VERSION` in command and configuration examples with the Consul API Gateway version you are installing, such as `0.3.0`. In some instances, `VERSION` is prepended with a lowercase _v_. This indicates that you must include the `v` as is part of the version, for example `v0.3.0`.
1. Issue the following command to install the CRDs:
```shell-session
$ kubectl apply --kustomize="github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/config/crd?ref=vVERSION"
```
1. Create a `values.yaml` file for your Consul API Gateway deployment. Copy the content below into the `values.yaml` file. The `values.yaml` will be used by the Consul Helm chart. Available versions of the [Consul](https://hub.docker.com/r/hashicorp/consul/tags) and [Consul API Gateway](https://hub.docker.com/r/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/tags) Docker images can be found on DockerHub, with additional context on version compatibility published in [GitHub releases](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/releases). See [Helm Chart Configuration - apiGateway](https://www.consul.io/docs/k8s/helm#apigateway) for more available options on how to configure your Consul API Gateway deployment via the Helm chart.
<CodeBlockConfig hideClipboard filename="values.yaml">
```yaml
global:
name: consul
connectInject:
enabled: true
controller:
enabled: true
apiGateway:
enabled: true
image: hashicorp/consul-api-gateway:VERSION
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
1. Install Consul API Gateway using the standard Consul Helm chart and specify the custom values file. Available versions of the [Consul Helm chart](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-k8s/releases) can be found in GitHub releases.
```shell-session
$ helm install consul hashicorp/consul --version 0.45.0 --values values.yaml --create-namespace --namespace consul
```
