1. In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to the Operators → OperatorHub page.
2. Use the Filter by keyword box to search for Builds for Red Hat OpenShift Operator in the catalog.
3. Click the Builds for Red Hat OpenShift Operator tile.
4. Read the brief description about the Operator and click Install.

5. On the Install Operator page:

   1. Check that the Installation Mode is set to All namespaces on the cluster (default). This mode installs the Operator in the default openshift-operators namespace to watch and be made available to all namespaces in the cluster.
   2. Check that the Installed Namespace is set to openshift-operators by default.
   3. Select Automatic for the Approval Strategy. This ensures that the future upgrades to the Operator are handled automatically by the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM). If you select the Manual approval strategy, OLM creates an update request. As a cluster administrator, you must then manually approve the OLM update request to update the Operator to the new version.

   4. Select an Update Channel:

      • The Update Channel is set to latest by default. The latest channel enables installation of the most recent stable version of the Builds for Red Hat OpenShift Operator.
      • To install a specific version of the Builds for Red Hat OpenShift Operator, cluster administrators can use the corresponding builds-<version> channel. For example, to install the Builds for Red Hat OpenShift Operator version 1.2, you can use the builds-1.2 channel.
6. Click Install.

1. In the Administrator perspective of the web console, select the project as openshift-builds.
2. Navigate to the Operators → Installed Operators page.
