Install Eclipse Che

Install and Configure a CheCluster

The first thing that we need to do, is create a CatalogSource for the DevWorkspace Operator. Eclipse Che and OpenShift Dev Spaces are dependent on this operator. If you are on a subscribed OpenShift cluster or using OpenShift Local, then the DevWorkspace Operator is already available, and you can install the Red Hat supported build of Eclipse Che called OpenShift Dev Spaces.

Log into your OpenShift cluster with the oc CLI as a cluster admin user.

Create a CatalogSource for the Dev Workspace Operator

Note: This step is not necessary if you are installing OpenShift Dev Spaces.

cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: devworkspace-operator-catalog
  namespace: openshift-marketplace # Namespace for catalogsource, not operator itself
spec:
  sourceType: grpc
  image: quay.io/devfile/devworkspace-operator-index:release
  publisher: Red Hat
  displayName: DevWorkspace Operator Catalog
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 5m
EOF

Now, log into your OpenShift cluster web console as a cluster admin user.
Navigate to the Operator Hub:
Search for the Eclipse Che Operator:
Click on the Eclipse Che Operator and acknowledge the popup about Community Operators:
Click Install:
Leave the default settings and click Install:
If you click on Installed Operators in the left hand nav menu, you can verify the installation process:
When the installation is complete, you should see both Eclipse Che and the DevWorkspace operators installed.

Finally, we need to create an instance of CheCluster:

From a terminal, log in to your cluster with cluster-admin privileges and run the following:

cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: eclipse-che
---
apiVersion: org.eclipse.che/v2
kind: CheCluster
metadata:
  name: eclipse-che
  namespace: eclipse-che

    disableContainerBuildCapabilities: false
