# Install the Snyk Controller

How to install the Snyk Controller for the Kubernetes integration

## Prerequisites for installing the Snyk Controller

{% hint style="info" %}
**Feature availability**\
Snyk Controller is available only with Enterprise plans. For more information, see [plans and pricing](https://snyk.io/plans/).
{% endhint %}

Before you install the Snyk Controller:

* You must have an administrator account for your Snyk Organization.
* You must have a minimum of 50 GB of storage available in the cluster as an [emptyDir](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#emptydir).
* You must have a minimum of the RAM requirements indicated in the code that follows to run on the cluster.

```
requests: cpu: "250m" memory: "400Mi"
limits: cpu: "1" memory: "2Gi"
```

* Your Kubernetes cluster must have a Kubernetes `linux/amd64` worker node.
* Your Kubernetes cluster must be able to communicate with Snyk outbound over HTTPS.
* [Enable the Kubernetes Integration ](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container/kubernetes-integration/overview-of-kubernetes-integration/enable-the-kubernetes-integration.md)to get your **Integration ID.**
* Create a **Group** or **Organization** **service account token**. For more information, see [Service accounts](https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/service-accounts/service-accounts). Different roles allow the integration to publish data:
  * Group Admin
  * Org Admin
  * Org custom role with the permission **Publish Kubernetes Resources**.
* Install [Helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/) locally.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Snyk Controller Kubernetes integration is designed to be deployed into your cluster. It has not been tested on Serverless FaaS deployment options such as Fargate, Google Cloud Run, and Azure Container Instances. Deployment into serverless platforms may be unreliable and is not recommended or supported.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-container/kubernetes-integration/install-the-snyk-controller.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
