+# Argo Rollouts Installation Manifests
+
+* [install.yaml](install.yaml) - Standard installation method. This will create a new namespace, `argo-rollouts`,
+  where Argo Rollouts controller will run.
+
+* [namespace-install.yaml](namespace-install.yaml) - Installation which requires only namespace level privileges.
+
+  > Note: Argo Rollouts CRDs are not included into [namespace-install.yaml](namespace-install.yaml).
+  > and have to be installed separately. The CRD manifests are located in [manifests/crds](./crds) directory.
+  > Use the following command to install them:
+  > ```bash
+  > kubectl apply -k https://github.com/argoproj/argo-rollouts/manifests/crds\?ref\=stable
+  > ```
