## Latest Release
KubeSphere 2.1.1 was released on **February 23rd, 2020**. See the [Release Notes For 2.1.1](https://kubesphere.io/docs/release/release-v211/) for the updates.
KubeSphere 3.0.0 is now generally available! See the [Release Notes For 3.0.0](https://kubesphere.io/docs/release/release-v300/) for the updates.
## Installation
KubeSphere can run anywhere from on-premise datacenter to any cloud to edge. In addition, it can be deployed on any version-compatible running Kubernetes cluster.
### Deploy on Existing Kubernetes Cluster
### QuickStarts
#### Prerequisites
[Quickstarts](https://kubesphere.io/docs/quick-start/) include six hands-on lab exercises that help you quickly get started with KubeSphere.
-`Kubernetes version`： `1.15.x, 1.16.x, 1.17.x`
-`2.10.0 ≤ Helm Version ＜ 3.0.0` excluding 2.16.0 because of [#6894](https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/6894). Please see [Install and Configure Helm in Kubernetes](https://devopscube.com/install-configure-helm-kubernetes/). Helm v3 will be supported in KubeSphere 3.0.0.
- An existing Storage Class in your Kubernetes cluster, use `kubectl get sc` to verify it
- The CSR signing feature is activated in kube-apiserver, see [RKE installation issue](https://github.com/kubesphere/kubesphere/issues/1925#issuecomment-591698309).
### Installing on Existing Kubernetes Cluster
Install KubeSphere using kubectl.

- If there are 1 Core and 2 GB RAM available in your cluster, use the command below to set up a default minimal installation only. You can enable other components after installation if more resource added in later on. See [Pluggable Components Installation](https://kubesphere.io/docs/installation/pluggable-components/) for detailed information.
- If there are 8 Cores and 16 GB RAM available in your cluster, use the command below to install a complete KubeSphere, i.e. with all components enabled:
Wait the installation logs using the following command till showing `"Successful"`, then you can log in the console using the default username and password.
```bash
kubectl logs -n kubesphere-system $(kubectl get pod -n kubesphere-system -lapp=ks-install -ojsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')-f
```
### Deploy on Linux
KubeSphere Installer can help you to install KubeSphere and Kubernetes on your linux machines. It provides [All-in-One](https://kubesphere.io/docs/installation/all-in-one/) and [Multi-Node](https://kubesphere.io/docs/installation/multi-node/) installation options.
