# About Platform Setup

<a id="nemo-ms-admin-setup-overview" />

This section describes how to deploy NeMo Platform to a Kubernetes cluster using the NeMo Platform Helm chart.
The chart is the supported path for self-managed clusters such as minikube, kind, EKS, AKS, GKE, OKE, OpenShift, and on-prem Kubernetes.

This Platform Setup chapter is for the following personas.

* **Cloud administrators**: Manage Kubernetes clusters and compute/storage resources. Deploy NeMo Platform to the Kubernetes clusters on premises or cloud.

## NeMo Platform Helm Chart

The NeMo Platform Helm chart is published in the `nvidia/nemo-platform` NGC org. The chart deploys the platform API, controllers, storage integration, and dependencies required for a full self-managed deployment.

Customize the installation by updating a pinned `values.yaml` file for your target cluster. For chart assets and additional details, see the [NeMo Platform artifacts in NGC](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/nemo-platform).

The install guide uses `NMP_HELM_CHART_VERSION` so every install and upgrade is tied to a specific chart version.
