To install Envoy:

1. Obtain the Envoy Authorizer zip archive from PlainID Support.

3. Configure authz image versions:

- Update the appVersion value in Chart.yaml file: Set tag of the authz-operator image from the images.txt file.

image from file images.txt

1. Update specific settings in values.yaml.
2. Update specific settings of the PlainidSidecar kind (example in samples/sidecar-echo.yaml).
3. Install Helm if not installed (Helm | Helm ).
4. Install using the Helm Chart:  

`helm install sidecar-test authz-envoy`
5. Label target namespace for PlainID Injection.  

`kubectl label namespace default pid-injection=enabled`
6. Deploy authz-sidecar injector.  

`kubectl apply -f samples/authz_v1_plainidinjector.yaml`
7. Deploy authz-sidecar configuration (PlainidSidecar kind).  

`kubectl apply -f samples/sidecar-echo.yaml`
