## 🧰 Setting up Kubernetes Goat
* Ensure you have admin access to the Kubernetes cluster and installed `kubectl`. Refer to the [docs for installation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)
* Ensure you have the `helm` package manager installed. Refer to the [docs for installation](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install)
* To set up the Kubernetes Goat resources in your cluster, run the following commands:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/madhuakula/kubernetes-goat.git
cd kubernetes-goat
chmod +x setup-kubernetes-goat.sh
bash setup-kubernetes-goat.sh
```
* Ensure the pods are running before running the access script
```bash
kubectl get pods
```
* Access Kubernetes Goat by exposing the resources to the local system (port-forward) by the following command:
```bash
bash access-kubernetes-goat.sh
```
* Then navigate to [`http://127.0.0.1:1234`](http://127.0.0.1:1234)
> Refer to [https://madhuakula.com/kubernetes-goat/docs/how-to-run](https://madhuakula.com/kubernetes-goat/docs/how-to-run) for setting up Kubernetes Goat in various environments like GKE, EKS, AKS, K3S, KIND, etc.
