# Example setup The CRD must be deployed independently. ```sh kubectl apply -f https://github.com/mnlipp/VM-Operator/raw/main/deploy/crds/vms-crd.yaml ``` Apart from that, the `kustomize.yaml` defines a namespace for the manager (and the VMs managed by it) and patches the repository PVC to create a small volume using local-path. The `kustomize.yaml` does not include the test VM. Before creating the test VM, you will again most likely want to change the disk definition. The sample file uses a reference to some manually allocated PV.
