2. Install Cluster API with the clusterctl CLI
3. Install Kamaji (for the sake of simplicity, we suggest Helm)
4. Get the source of the Kamaji Control Plane provider and place in your desired LOCATION
5. Run the Kamaji Cluster API Control Plane Provider as you prefer, as well as with dlv to debug it
6. Run Tilt by issuing tilt up
7. You have a full development environment

📄 Kamaji compatibility

As of July 2024, CLASTIX Labs organisation does no longer provide stable release artefacts in favour of edge releases.

Although CLASTIX Labs strives to provide production-grade artefacts even for edge releases, starting from v0.12.0 the Kamaji Cluster API Control Plane provider will not use a stable version pinning in favour of edge releases.

To ensure a perfect compatibility and a production grade implementation between Kamaji and the Cluster API Control Plane provider, we suggest getting in touch with CLASTIX Labs to achieve commercial support.
