Pre-install¶
Before you begin any hands-on setup, it's critical to review all requirements and plan your environment.
Note
The exact Kubernetes cluster and other specific prerequisites for your environment are defined in your installation plan. If you don't have an installation plan, request one through your installation ticket. If you don't have an installation ticket, create one through the DataRobot Support Portal or by emailing support@DataRobot.com.
