= Installing {lvms} by using the web console

[role="_abstract"]
Install {lvms} from the {product-title} web console to dynamically provision local storage on clusters with limited resources.

[NOTE]
====
The default namespace for the {lvms} Operator is `openshift-lvm-storage`.
====

.Prerequisites
* You have access to the cluster.
* You have access to {product-title} with `cluster-admin` and Operator installation permissions.

.Procedure
. Log in to the {product-title} web console.
. Click *Ecosystem* -> *Software Catalog*.
. Click *LVM Storage* on the software catalog page.
. Set the following options on the *Operator Installation* page:
.. *Update Channel* as *stable-{product-version}*.
.. *Installation Mode* as *A specific namespace on the cluster*.
.. *Installed Namespace* as *Operator recommended namespace openshift-storage*.
   If the `openshift-lvm-storage` namespace does not exist, it is created during the operator installation.
.. *Update approval* as *Automatic* or *Manual*.
+
[NOTE]
====
If you select *Automatic* updates, the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) automatically updates the running instance of {lvms} without any intervention.

If you select *Manual* updates, the OLM creates an update request.
As a cluster administrator, you must manually approve the update request to update {lvms} to a newer version.
====
. Optional: Select the *Enable Operator recommended cluster monitoring on this Namespace* checkbox.
. Click *Install*.

.Verification
* Verify that {lvms} shows a green tick, indicating successful installation.
