49 | # Install ArgoCD
50 | 
51 | Here are the steps to install ArgoCD and retrieve the admin password:
52 | 
53 | 1. **Create Namespace for ArgoCD**:
54 |    ```bash
55 |    kubectl create namespace argocd
56 |    ```
57 | 
58 | 2. **Apply ArgoCD Manifests**:
59 |    ```bash
60 |    kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v2.4.7/manifests/install.yaml
61 |    ```
62 | 
63 | 3. **Patch Service Type to LoadBalancer**:
64 |    ```bash
65 |    kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer"}}'
66 |    ```
67 | 
68 | 4. **Retrieve Admin Password**:
69 |    ```bash
70 |    kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d
71 |    ```
72 | 
73 | These commands will install ArgoCD into the specified namespace, set up the service as a LoadBalancer, and retrieve the admin password for you to access the ArgoCD UI.
