# Setup dev environment by kind
This script sets up an OCM developer environment on your local machine with three kind clusters: hub, cluster1, and cluster2. The hub is used as the control plane of the OCM and is also registered as a managed cluster named local-cluster. The other two clusters are registered on the hub as managed clusters.
## Prerequisite
[kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io) must be installed on your local machine. The Kubernetes version must be >= 1.19, see [kind user guide](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#creating-a-cluster) for more details.
Download and install [clusteradm](https://github.com/open-cluster-management-io/clusteradm/releases). For Linux OS, run the following commands:
```
wget -qO- https://github.com/open-cluster-management-io/clusteradm/releases/latest/download/clusteradm_linux_amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -xvz -C /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/clusteradm
```
## Setup the clusters
Run `./local-up.sh`, you will see three clusters registered on the hub cluster.
```text
NAME HUB ACCEPTED MANAGED CLUSTER URLS JOINED AVAILABLE AGE
cluster1 true https://127.0.0.1:45325 True True 116s
cluster2 true https://127.0.0.1:45325 True True 98s
local-cluster true https://127.0.0.1:45325 True True 78s
```

<summary>Known issue when running the setup script on a Linux environment</summary>
You may run into this issue when trying to create multiple clusters
```
Creating cluster "cluster2" ...
✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.26.3) 🖼
✗ Preparing nodes 📦
ERROR: failed to create cluster: could not find a log line that matches "Reached target .*Multi-User System.*|detected cgroup v1
```
This might be caused by kernel limits such as number of open files, inotifiy watches, etc.
To solve this, try increasing your `max_user_instances` and `max_user_watches`:
* To see the current limits
```
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances
```
* To temporarily increase the limits
```
$ sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=8192
$ sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
$ sudo sysctl -p
```
* To permanently increase the limits
```
$ sudo echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1024" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
$ sudo echo "fs.inotify.max_user_instances=1024" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
$ sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf #reloads system settings to apply changes
```
Once you've increased the limits, delete the clusters already created and try again:
```
$ kind delete clusters hub cluster1 cluster2
$ ./local-up.sh
```
