When installing or upgrading the Istio Helm chart through **Apps,**
1. If you are installing the chart, click **Customize Helm options before install** and click **Next**.
1. You will see options for configuring the Istio Helm chart. On the **Components** tab, check the box next to **Enabled CNI**.
1. Add a custom overlay file specifying `cniBinDir` and `cniConfDir`. For more information on these options, refer to the [Istio documentation.](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/additional-setup/cni/#helm-chart-parameters) An example is below:
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="RKE2">
```yaml
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
components:
cni:
enabled: true
k8s:
overlays:
- apiVersion: "apps/v1"
kind: "DaemonSet"
name: "istio-cni-node"
patches:
- path: spec.template.spec.containers.[name:install-cni].securityContext.privileged
value: true
values:
cni:
cniBinDir: /opt/cni/bin
cniConfDir: /etc/cni/net.d
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="K3s">
```yaml
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
components:
cni:
enabled: true
k8s:
overlays:
- apiVersion: "apps/v1"
kind: "DaemonSet"
name: "istio-cni-node"
patches:
- path: spec.template.spec.containers.[name:install-cni].securityContext.privileged
value: true
values:
cni:
cniBinDir: /var/lib/rancher/k3s/data/current/bin
cniConfDir: /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/etc/cni/net.d
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
**Result:** Now you should be able to utilize Istio as desired, including sidecar injection and monitoring via Kiali.
