+# Introduction to Flux CD v2
+
+## Create a kubernetes cluster
+
+In this guide we we''ll need a Kubernetes cluster for testing. Let's create one using [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) </br>
+
+```
+kind create cluster --name fluxcd --image kindest/node:v1.23.5
+```
+
+See cluster up and running:
+
+```
+kubectl get nodes
+NAME                  STATUS   ROLES                  AGE     VERSION
+fluxcd-control-plane   Ready    control-plane,master   2m12s   v1.23.5
+```
+
+## Run a container to work in
+
+### run Alpine Linux: 
+```
+docker run -it --rm -v ${HOME}:/root/ -v ${PWD}:/work -w /work --net host alpine sh
+```
+
+### install some tools
+
+```
+# install curl 
+apk add --no-cache curl
+
+# install kubectl 
+curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/`curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt`/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
+chmod +x ./kubectl
+mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
+
+# install helm 
+
+curl -o /tmp/helm.tar.gz -LO https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.10.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
+tar -C /tmp/ -zxvf /tmp/helm.tar.gz
+mv /tmp/linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm
+chmod +x /usr/local/bin/helm
+
+```
+
+### test cluster access:
+```
+/work # kubectl get nodes
+NAME                    STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
+fluxcd-control-plane   Ready    control-plane,master   3m26s   v1.23.5
+```
+
+## Flux CD 
+
+### get flux command-line tool
+
+Let's download the `flux` command-line utility. </br>
+We can get this utility from the GitHub [Releases page](https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/releases) </br>
+
+It's also worth noting that you want to ensure you get a compatible version of flux which supports your version of Kubernetes. Checkout the [prerequisites](https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/#prerequisites) page. </br>
+
+```
+curl -o /tmp/flux.tar.gz -LO https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/releases/download/v0.36.0/flux_0.36.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
+tar -C /tmp/ -zxvf /tmp/flux.tar.gz
+mv /tmp/flux /usr/local/bin/flux
+chmod +x /usr/local/bin/flux
+```
+
+Now we can run `flux --help` to see its installed
+
+## Documentation
+
+As with every guide, we start with the documentation </br>
+The [Core Concepts](https://fluxcd.io/flux/concepts/) is a good place to start. </br>
+
+We begin by following the steps under the [bootstrap](https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/#bootstrap) section for GitHub </br>
+
+We'll need to generate a personal access token (PAT) that can create repositories by checking all permissions under `repo`.  </br>
+
+Once we have a token, we can set it: 
+
+```
+export GITHUB_TOKEN=<your-token>
+```
+
+Then we can bootstrap it using the GitHub bootstrap method
+
+```
+flux bootstrap github \
+  --owner=my-github-username \
+  --repository=my-repository \
+  --path=clusters/my-cluster \
+  --personal
+```
