1.3. MicroShift installation tools

To use MicroShift, you must already have or plan to install a RHEL type, such as on bare metal, or as a virtual machine (VM) that you provision. Although each use case has different details, each installation of Red Hat Device Edge uses RHEL tools and the OpenShift CLI (oc).

You can use RPMs to install MicroShift on an existing RHEL machine. See Installing from an RPM package for more information. No other tools are required unless you are also installing an image-based RHEL system or VM at the same time.
