= Installing the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) from an RPM package

[role="_abstract"]
When you install {microshift-short}, the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) package is not installed by default. You can install the OLM on your {microshift-short} instance by using an RPM package. OLM helps you install, update, and manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes native applications (Operators) and their associated services running in each {microshift-short} node.

.Procedure

. Install the OLM package by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ sudo dnf install microshift-olm
----

. To apply the manifest from the package to an active node, run the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ sudo systemctl restart microshift
----
