# Install OpenShift Pipelines

OpenShift Pipelines is provided as an add-on on top of OpenShift that can be installed via an operator that is available in the OpenShift OperatorHub.

First, make sure you are in the **Administrator** perspective as shown below:

[![Administrator Perspective](https://github.com/openshift/pipelines-tutorial/raw/master/docs/images/administrator.png)](https://github.com/openshift/pipelines-tutorial/blob/master/docs/images/administrator.png)

Go to **Operators > OperatorHub** in the Web Console.

In the search bar where it says, type 'OpenShift Pipelines' to find the **OpenShift Pipelines Operator**:

Click on **OpenShift Pipelines Operator**, **Continue**, and then **Install**:

Leave the default settings and click on **Subscribe** in order to subscribe to the installation and update channels:

After clicking **Subscribe**, you will be taken to the **Installed Operators** page. If you do not see the **OpenShift Pipelines Operator** as shown below, simply wait a moment while the **OpenShift Pipelines Operator** finishes installation:

That's all. The operator now installs OpenShift Pipelines on the cluster.

You can confirm the following by checking **tekton-pipelines** and **tekton-triggers** pods with `Running` state in `openshift-pipelines` namespace. If so, openshift-pipelines have been installed on your cluster.
