```plain

:::note
If you are running Kubernetes v1.15 or below, you will need to add the `--validate=false` flag to your `kubectl apply` command above, or else you will receive a validation error relating to the `x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields` field in cert-manager’s CustomResourceDefinition resources. This is a benign error and occurs due to the way kubectl performs resource validation.

3. Launch cert-manager.

#### Install Rancher with kubectl
```plain
kubectl create namespace cattle-system
kubectl -n cattle-system apply -R -f ./rancher
```
The installation is complete.

If you don't intend to send telemetry data, opt out [telemetry](../../../../faq/telemetry.md) during the initial login. Leaving this active in an air-gapped environment can cause issues if the sockets cannot be opened successfully.
