KubeArmor is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement system designed to enhance the security of your Kubernetes workloads. This guide will walk you through the installation process using a simple Bash script. We’ll cover how to clone the repository, run the script, and explain essential commands used during the setup.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following tools installed on your system:

• Helm: A package manager for Kubernetes to define, install, and upgrade applications.

• kubectl: A command-line tool to interact with your Kubernetes cluster.

• curl: A tool for transferring data with URLs.

Cloning the Repository To get started, you need to clone the repository where the installation script is hosted.

Clone the Repository

• Open your terminal and run the following command to clone the repository:

• git clonehttps://github.com/RehanFazal77/KUBEARMOR-rehanfazal.git

• Change to the directory containing the cloned repository:

• cd KUBEARMOR-rehanfazal/install

Installation Script

The repository includes a Bash script named install_kubearmor.sh, which automates the installation of KubeArmor.

• Adds the KubeArmor Helm repository.

• Updates the Helm repository.

• Installs or upgrades the KubeArmor operator using Helm.

• Applies a sample KubeArmor configuration using kubectl.

• Installs the KubeArmor CLI using curl.

Running the Script

1. Make the Script Executable

   Use the chmod +x command to make the script executable. This command changes the file's permissions to allow it to be run as a program.

   chmod +x install_kubearmor.sh

2. Execute the Script

   Run the script to install KubeArmor:

   ./install_kubearmor.sh

Understanding the chmod +x Command

The chmod command in Unix-like operating systems modifies file permissions. The +x option adds execute permissions, making the file runnable. In this context:

• chmod: Command to change file permissions.

• +x: Adds execute permissions.

• install_kubearmor.sh: The file being modified.

By making the script executable, you can run it directly from the command line.

Now to verify the installation: run the given command
First, Kubearmor creates a namespace named as kubearmor
run: kubectl get ns
it will show this

After that it install the require pods into the kubearmor namespace

then run: kubectl get pods --namespace kubearmor
it will show this

Conclusion

This guide has shown you how to clone the KubeArmor installation script from the GitHub repository, make it executable, and run it to install KubeArmor and then verify that kubearmor has installed correctly.
