# Installation overview

This section explains how to install SonarQube Server on Kubernetes or OpenShift (see also the [Helmchart documentation](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/sonarqube/sonarqube#cpu-and-memory-settings)). It does not apply to the Data Center Edition. For the latter, see [on-kubernetes-or-openshift](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/server-installation/data-center-edition/on-kubernetes-or-openshift "mention")).

To deploy the SonarQube Server on Kubernetes or OpenShift:

1. Read [before-you-start](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/server-installation/on-kubernetes-or-openshift/before-you-start "mention").
2. Customize the SonarQube Server Helm chart. See [customizing-helm-chart](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/server-installation/on-kubernetes-or-openshift/customizing-helm-chart "mention").
3. Install the Helm chart. See [installing-helm-chart](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/server-installation/on-kubernetes-or-openshift/installing-helm-chart "mention").
4. Once your SonarQube Server is installed and running, you can access SonarQube Server UI in your web browser (the default system administrator credentials are **admin**/**admin**) and you’re ready to begin analyzing source code. See [overview](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/analyzing-source-code/overview "mention").
5. If necessary, encrypt helm chart sensitive data. See [encrypting-helm-chart-sensitive-data](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/server-installation/on-kubernetes-or-openshift/encrypting-helm-chart-sensitive-data "mention").
