In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Operators → OperatorHub.
Use the Filter by keyword field to search for “MTA”.
Click the Migration Toolkit for Applications Operator and then click Install.

Click Operators → Installed Operators to verify that the MTA Operator appears in the openshift-mta project with the status Succeeded.
Click the MTA Operator.
Under Provided APIs, locate Tackle and click Create Instance.
Review options (the default selections should be OK, but be sure to validate the system requirements for storage, memory, and cores). Then, go to the bottom of the page and click Create.
In the Administrator perspective, click Workloads -> Pods to verify the pods are running.
