title: Kubernetes installation
For a mid to high-load installation, Kubernetes is recommended. authentik is installed using a helm-chart.
To install authentik using the helm chart, run these commands:
```
helm repo add authentik https://docker.beryju.org/chartrepo/authentik
helm repo update
helm install authentik/authentik --devel -f values.yaml
This installation automatically applies database migrations on startup. After the installation is done, you can use `akadmin` as username and password.
