Getting Started

To jump right in with Gloo Edge, the quickest way is with your own Kubernetes cluster. Your cluster might be on your local workstation or in a cloud environment. For more details, see the Preparation guide and Kubernetes cluster setup.

Quick start installation

After you have a cluster, you can install Gloo Edge through the command line with the glooctl CLI or Helm.

  1. Install glooctl. The steps vary on your operating system.
    • Linux or macOS 
      curl -sL https://run.solo.io/gloo/install | sh
export PATH=$HOME/.gloo/bin:$PATH
    • Windows 
      (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString("https://run.solo.io/gloo/windows/install") | iex
$env:Path += ";$env:userprofile/.gloo/bin/"
  2. Install Gloo Edge. 
    glooctl install gateway
  1. Add the Helm repository for Gloo Edge. 
    helm repo add gloo https://storage.googleapis.com/solo-public-helm
helm repo update
  2. Create the namespace for the Gloo Edge components. 
    kubectl create namespace gloo-system
  3. Install the Helm chart. 
    helm install gloo gloo/gloo --namespace gloo-system

That’s it! Now, you can try the Hello World example or the following hands-on demo to get an idea of how Gloo Edge can be used.
