 == How to install Operators in {product-title}
 
-To minimize the footprint of {product-title}, Operators are installed directly with manifests instead of using the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM). The following examples provide instructions on how you can use the `kustomize` configuration management tool with {product-title} to deploy an application. Use the same steps to install Operators with manifests.

+= Override the list of manifest paths
+You can override the list of default manifest paths by using a new single path, or by using a new glob pattern for multiple files. Use the following procedure to customize your manifest paths.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Override the list of default paths by inserting your own values and running one of the following commands:
+
+.. Set `manifests.kustomizePaths` to `<++"++/opt/alternate/path++"++>` in the configuration file for a single path.
+
+.. Set `kustomizePaths` to `,++"++/opt/alternative/path.d/++*"++.` in the configuration file for a glob pattern.

+----
+<1> Set each location entry to an exact path by using `++"++/opt/alternate/path++"++` or a glob pattern by using `++"++/opt/alternative/path.d/++*"++`.

+The configuration file overrides the defaults entirely. If the `kustomizePaths` value is set, only the values in the configuration file are used. Setting the value to an empty list disables manifest loading.

 = How manifests work with kustomize
 
-The `kustomize` configuration management tool is integrated with {product-title}. At every start, {product-title} searches the `/etc/microshift/manifests` and `/usr/lib/microshift/` manifest directories for a `kustomization.yaml` file. If it finds one, {product-title} automatically runs the equivalent of the `kubectl apply -k` command to apply the identified manifests to the cluster.

At every start, {product-title} searches the `/etc/microshift/manifests`, `/etc/microshift/manifests.d/++*++`, `/usr/lib/microshift/`, and `/usr/lib/microshift/manifests.d/++*++` manifest directories for a `kustomization.yaml`, `kustomization.yml`, or `Kustomization` file. If it finds one, {product-title} automatically runs the equivalent of the `kubectl apply -k` command to apply the identified manifests to the cluster.

+Loading from multiple directories allows you to manage {product-title} workloads with more flexibility. Different workloads can be independent of each other.
