+title: Installation with CLI
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+## Installation with init flags
+
+## Installation with init configuration
+
+`karmadactl init` allows you to install Karmada by specifying a configuration file, which provides a structured way to define all settings in a YAML file.
+
+### Example Configuration File
+Here is an example of the configuration file for Karmada deployment:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: config.karmada.io/v1alpha1
+kind: KarmadaInitConfig
+spec:
+  karmadaCrds: "https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/releases/download/v1.10.3/crds.tar.gz"
+  etcd:
+    local:
+      imageRepository: "registry.k8s.io/etcd"
+      imageTag: "3.5.13-0"
+      initImage:
+        imageRepository: "docker.io/library/alpine"
+        imageTag: "3.19.1"
+  components:
+    karmadaAPIServer:
+      imageRepository: "registry.k8s.io/kube-apiserver"
+      imageTag: "v1.30.0"
+    karmadaAggregatedAPIServer:
+      imageRepository: "docker.io/karmada/karmada-aggregated-apiserver"
+      imageTag: "v1.10.3"
+    kubeControllerManager:
+      imageRepository: "registry.k8s.io/kube-controller-manager"
+      imageTag: "v1.30.0"
+    karmadaControllerManager:
+      imageRepository: "docker.io/karmada/karmada-controller-manager"
+      imageTag: "v1.10.3"
+    karmadaScheduler:
+      imageRepository: "docker.io/karmada/karmada-scheduler"
+      imageTag: "v1.10.3"
+    karmadaWebhook:
+      imageRepository: "docker.io/karmada/karmada-webhook"
+      imageTag: "v1.10.3"
+```
+
+### Deploying Karmada with Configuration File
+
+1.Save the example configuration above to a file, e.g., karmada-init-config.yaml.
+
+2.Use the following command to deploy Karmada with the configuration file:
+
+  ```bash
+  sudo karmadactl init --config /path/to/your/karmada-init-config.yaml
+  ```
+
+:::note
+
+You need to use sudo for elevated permissions because `karmadactl` creates a
+`karmada-apiserver.config` file at the `/etc/karmada/` directory.
+
+:::
+
+3.This configuration file allows you to define essential parameters, including:
+
+- certificates: Defines certificate paths and validity period.
+- etcd: Configures Etcd settings, including local or external Etcd options.
+- hostCluster: Specifies host cluster API endpoint and kubeconfig.
+- images: Configures image settings for components.
+- components: Sets up replicas for API Server and other core components.
+- karmadaDataPath: Defines the data path for Karmada.
+-  ...
+
+If you need more information about the configuration file, please refer to the [karmadactl init API reference](/docs/reference/karmadactl/karmadactl-config.v1alpha1.md).

+
+### Notes
+
+Karmada reuses some Kubernetes images, such as `etcd`, `kube-controller-manager`, and `kube-apiserver`(also known as `karmada-apiserver`). These images are fetched from the Kubernetes official image registry (registry.k8s.io) by default.
+
+Karmada routinely upgrades these involved Kubernetes images and includes them in Karmada's test suite to ensure compatibility and stability.
+
+Karmada-maintained images are fetched from the Karmada official image registry (docker.io/karmada). These images include Karmada's components, such as karmada-controller-manager and karmada-scheduler.
+
+Various installation tools provided by Karmada support customizing image sources. You can configure to fetch images from private registries or trusted third-party registries. This provides flexibility to ensure smooth deployment of Karmada in different network environments.

       --skip-log-headers                 If true, avoid headers when opening log files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
