# Install Consul API Gateway
This topic describes how to install and configure Consul API Gateway.
## 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. Refer to the [Release Notes][rel-notes] for the version of API Gateway you are deploying.
## Installation
1. Set the version of Consul API Gateway you are installing as an environment variable. The following steps use this environment variable in commands and configurations.
```shell-session
$ export VERSION=0.5.0
```
1. Issue the following command to install the CRDs:
```shell-session
$ kubectl apply --kustomize="github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/config/crd?ref=v$VERSION"
```
1. Create a `values.yaml` file for your Consul API Gateway deployment by copying the following content and running it in the environment where you set the `VERSION` environment variable. The Consul Helm chart uses this `values.yaml` file to deploy the API Gateway. Available versions of the [Consul](https://hub.docker.com/r/hashicorp/consul/tags) and [Consul API Gateway](https://hub.docker.com/r/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/tags) Docker images can be found on DockerHub, with additional context on version compatibility published in [GitHub releases](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/releases). For more options to configure your Consul API Gateway deployment through the Helm chart, refer to [Helm Chart Configuration - apiGateway](https://www.consul.io/docs/k8s/helm#apigateway).
<CodeBlockConfig filename="values.yaml">
```shell
cat <<EOF > values.yaml
global:
name: consul
connectInject:
enabled: true
controller:
enabled: true
apiGateway:
enabled: true
image: hashicorp/consul-api-gateway:$VERSION
EOF
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
1. Install Consul API Gateway using the standard Consul Helm chart or Consul K8s CLI 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.
