+## Introduction
+
+This document provides a comprehensive guide for installing Private Mendix Platform, along with its optional components, in your own Kubernetes environment.
+
+Private Mendix Platform supports using secret storage. If required, you can store some configuration in a secret vault (for example, AWS, Azure, or Hashicorp) without setting up a storage plan, database plan, PCLM admin and Mendix admin info in the Private Mendix Platform installer.
+
+{{% alert color="info" %}}
+Using a secret storage incorrectly may reduce the security of your app. Consult your secrets store provider to ensure that it is set up securely for your production environment.

+
+### Overview
+
+Before you start the installation process, review the following considerations:
+
+#### Installation Mode
+
+You can perform the installation in interactive or non-interactive mode. In [interactive mode](/private-mendix-platform/interactive-installation/), you manually install Private Mendix Platform components. In [non-interactive](/private-mendix-platform/noninteractive-installation/) mode, you use commands to automatically install Private Mendix Platform components.
+
+#### Installation Order
+
+Start the process by installing the Mendix Operator before you install the components. Some components are dependent on the Operator. Because of that, if you try to install a component without installing the Operator, the installation process fails and displays an error message.
+
+#### Installing Components
+
+Only the Private Cloud License Manager (PCLM) component is required. All other components are optional.
+
+The following components must be installed in the same namespace as Private Mendix Platform:
+
+* PCLM
+* Svix
+* Maia
+* Private Cloud components
+
+Other components, such as the Build agent and PDF DocGen module, can be installed in any namespace.
+
+If you add any components after installing Private Mendix Platform, you must re-run the Platform installer. For more information, see [Adding Additional Components After Installing the Private Mendix Platform](#adding-components).
+
+### Prerequisites {#prerequisites}
+
+Private Mendix Platform depends on Mendix on Kubernetes for the installation and deployment of Mendix apps.
+
+Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have all the necessary prerequisites:
+
+* A Kubernetes instance where the target namespace has already been created. For more information, see [Supported Providers: Supported Versions](/developerportal/deploy/private-cloud-supported-environments/#supported-versions).
+* A PostgreSQL 12 database.
+* File storage. For more information, see [Supported Providers: File Storage](/developerportal/deploy/private-cloud-supported-environments/#file-storage).
+* A registry. For more information, see [Supported Providers: Container Registries](/developerportal/deploy/private-cloud-supported-environments/#container-registries).
+* A domain.
+* For the PCLM component:
+
+    * Mendix Operator in version 2.21.0 or above
+    * A dedicated Postgres or SQLServer database server with public accessibility set to **Yes**.
+
+* Optionally, if your Private Mendix Platform app requires its own certificate: a TLS certificate with HTTPS support.
+* An environment to run installer tools with the following requirements:
+
+    * A kubeconfig file with administrator privileges for your Kubernetes or OpenShift platform
+    * A command line terminal that supports the console API and mouse interactions. In Windows, this can be PowerShell or the Windows Command Prompt.
+    * For OpenShift clusters, OpenShift CLI. For more information, see [Getting started with the CLI](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/cli_reference/getting-started-cli.html).
+    * Kubectl installed if you are deploying to another Kubernetes platform. For more information, see [Install and Set Up kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/).
+
+* Optionally, if you plan to install the Svix component:
+
+    * An existing PostgreSQL database instance.
+    * An optional Redis server version 6.2.0 or higher, for the task queue and cache. Using Redis is recommended for high availability, where you expect a high volume of webhook calls, or if you have multiple Svix servers. As a best practice, enable persistence in Redis so that tasks are persisted across Redis server restarts and upgrades.
+
+* If you plan to use the AWS Secret Manager, install an AWS provider at your cluster, as described in [Kubernetes Secrets Store CSI Driver](https://secrets-store-csi-driver.sigs.k8s.io/).
+* If you plan to use Azure Key Vault, see [Configuring a Secret Store with Azure Key Vault](/developerportal/deploy/secret-store-credentials/#azure-key-vault).

+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+To support automated namespace installation and configuration, we have provided a non-interactive mode in the configuration tool. In non-interactive mode, you use commands to automatically install Private Mendix Platform components. If you would like to perform a manual installation instead, see [Install Private Mendix Platform in Interactive Mode](/private-mendix-platform/interactive-installation/).
+
+Non-interactive mode supports the following tasks:
+
+* Automated namespace installation, upgrade, and Operator configuration 
+* Installation and upgrade of (Svix, PCLM, Private Cloud related)
+* Installation and upgrade of Private Mendix Platform  
+
+##  Performing the Installation
+
+To install and configure the Mendix Operator, perform the following steps:
+
+1. Download the release binary from your [Private Mendix Platform download portal](https://privateplatform.mendix.com/). If you do not have access to the download portal, contact your Mendix partner for information.
+
+2. Unzip the release binary to a local folder on your Windows or Linux server. The release binary contains the following files:
+
+    * **Tools** - *mx-pclm-cli*, which can be used to manage PCLM
+    * **helm**, and **helmfile** tools, which are used to deploy and manage Private Mendix Platform charts and Svix charts
+    * **images** - Private Mendix Platform image, PCLM image, Svix image, test application image
+    * **Installer** - installer tools
+    * **mxpc-cli** - installation tools which can be used to manage or configure the Mendix Operator
+    * **charts**  - charts, including Private Mendix Platform charts and Svix charts
+
+    {{< figure src="/attachments/private-platform/pmp-binary.png" class="no-border" >}}
+
+3. Initiate the creation of configuration files for non-interactive installation by running the following commands, where `-n` indicates the namespace:
+
+    * `./installer operator configure -n=<Private Mendix Platform namespace>` - To generate a configuration file for the Operator
+    * `./installer component -n=<Private Mendix Platform namespace>` - To generate configuration files for the components; you can select the component in the configuration tool
+    * `./installer platform  -n=<Private Mendix Platform namespace>` - To generate a configuration file for the Private Mendix Platform
+
+4. Fill out the required configuration parameters, and then click **Write Configuration** to generate the file.
+
+    {{< figure src="/attachments/private-platform/pmp-install-ni1.png" class="no-border" >}}
+
+5. Apply the configuration by running the following command: `./installer apply-config -f <config-file path>`.
+
+## Configuration File Structure
+
+The configuration file is organized into four main sections:
+
+* **General Settings** – Defines the overall information, such as the namespace name.
+* **Operator** – Configures the Mendix Operator, including cluster type, registry, cluster mode, database plan, storage plan, and so on.
+* **Components** – Specifies the optional platform components to be enabled or disabled, for example, PCLM, Svix, PDFGen, Build Agent, and Maia. You must specify the configuration for enabled components. 
+* **Private Platform** – Defines the Mendix Private Platform application settings, including the app URL, database and storage plans, resource limits, runtime configuration, and feature toggles.
