== Setup OpenShift

To run OpenShift4, you need to have one provisioned using https://try.openshift.com[try.openshift.com] or can use any existing OpenShift4 cluster.
Once you have your cluster, you can download the latest OpenShift client(oc) from https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/latest/[here] and add to your path.

You can check the OpenShift version using:

[source,bash]
