  6. After the subscription's upgrade status is up to date, navigate in the web console to the Operators → Installed Operators page

Note: See OpenShift documentation on adding operators to a cluster (OpenShift 4.12) for further information on how to install an operator from the OperatorHub.

Optionally: Install ArgoCD

Even if we recommend using the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator it would be possible to install ArgoCD directly, as well.

Please follow the installation of the official ArgoCD documentation.
