# Basic Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Verify that the [requirements](/docs/api-gateway/consul-api-gateway-install#requirments) have been met.
|
|
1. Verify that the Consul API Gateway CRDs and controller have been installed and applied (see [Installation](/docs/api-gateway/consul-api-gateway-install)).
|
|
1. Configure the artifacts as describe in the [Configuration](/docs/api-gateway/configuration) section.
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlockConfig hideClipboard filename="values.yaml">
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
apiGateway:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
managedGatewayClass:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</CodeBlockConfig>
|
|
|
|
1. Issue the `kubectl apply` command to implement the configurations, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ kubectl apply -f gateway.yaml routes.yaml
|
|
```

### Using the Consul API Gateway Binary
|
|
|
|
You can download the Consul API Gateway binary and use it to manually start the control plane server.
|
|
|
|
1. Download the binary from the [Consul API Gateway repository](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway).
|
|
1. Navigate to the `consul-api-gateway-main` directory and build the binary:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ go build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. (Optional) Copy the binary to the execution path, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ cp consul-api-gateway /usr/bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Use the `server` command to interact with the Consul API Gateway binary:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ ./consul-api-gateway server <options>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following options are supported:
|
|
|

You can also issue the `version` command to print the Consul API Gateway version to the console:
