----

. Deploy the {VirtProductName} Operator by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc apply -f <file_name>.yaml
----

.Verification

* Ensure that {VirtProductName} deployed successfully by watching the `PHASE` of the cluster service version (CSV) in the `{CNVNamespace}` namespace. Run the following command:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ watch oc get csv -n {CNVNamespace}
----
