+# Install Addons
+
+With the release of KubeBlocks v0.8.0, Addons are decoupled from KubeBlocks and some Addons are not installed by default. If you want to use these Addons, install Addons first by index. Or if you uninstalled some Addons, you can follow the steps in this tutorial to install them again.
+
+This tutorial takes etcd as an example. You can replace etcd with the Addon you need.
+
+The official index repo is [KubeBlocks index](https://github.com/apecloud/block-index). Addons are maintained in the [KubeBlocks Addon repo](https://github.com/apecloud/kubeblocks-addons).
+
+<Tabs>
+
+<TabItem value="Helm" label="Install with Helm" default>
+
+1. (Optional) Add the KubeBlocks repo. If you install KubeBlocks with Helm, just run `helm repo update`.
+
+   ```bash
+   helm repo add kubeblocks https://apecloud.github.io/helm-charts
+   helm repo update
+   ```
+
+2. View the Addon versions.
+
+   ```bash
+   helm search repo kubeblocks/etcd --devel --versions
+   ```
+
+3. Install the Addon (take etcd as example). Specify a version with `--version`.
+
+   ```bash
+   helm install etcd kubeblocks/etcd --namespace kb-system --create-namespace --version x.y.z
+   ```
+
+4. Verify whether this Addon is installed.
+
+   The STATUS is `deployed` and this Addon is installed successfully.
+
+   ```bash
+   helm list -A
+   >
+   NAME                 NAMESPACE	REVISION	UPDATED                                	STATUS  	CHART              APP VERSION
+   ......
+   etcd               	kb-system	1       	2024-10-25 07:18:35.294326176 +0000 UTC	deployed	etcd-0.9.0         v3.5.6
+   ```
+
+5. (Optional) You can run the command below to disable the Addon.
+
+   If you have created a related cluster, delete the cluster first.
+
+   ```bash
+   helm uninstall etcd --namespace kb-system
+   ```
+
+</TabItem>
+
+<TabItem value="kbcli" label="Install with kbcli">
+
+1. View the index.
+
+   kbcli creates an index named `kubeblocks` by default and you can check whether this index is created by running `kbcli addon index list`.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon index list
+   >
+   INDEX        URL
+   kubeblocks   https://github.com/apecloud/block-index.git 
+   ```
+
+   If the list is empty or you want to add your index, you can add the index manually by using `kbcli addon index add <index-name> <source>`. For example,
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon index add kubeblocks https://github.com/apecloud/block-index.git
+   ```
+
+   If you are not sure whether the kubeblocks index is the latest version, you can update it.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon index update kubeblocks
+   ```
+
+2. (Optional) Search whether the Addon exists in the index.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon search etcd
+   >
+   ADDON   VERSION         INDEX
+   etcd    0.7.0           kubeblocks
+   etcd    0.8.0           kubeblocks
+   etcd    0.9.0           kubeblocks
+   ```
+
+3. Install the Addon.
+
+   If there are multiple index sources and versions for an Addon, you can specify an index by `--index` and a version by `--version`. The system installs the latest version in the `kubeblocks` index by default.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon install etcd --index kubeblocks --version x.y.z
+   ```
+
+4. Verify whether this Addon is installed.
+
+   The STATUS is `Enabled` and this Addon is installed successfully.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon list
+   >
+   NAME                           VERSION        PROVIDER    STATUS     AUTO-INSTALL
+   etcd                           0.9.0          apecloud    Enabled    true
+   ```
+
+5. (Optional) You can run the command below to disable the Addon.
+
+   If you have created a related cluster, delete the cluster first.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon uninstall etcd
+   ```
+
+:::note
+
+kbcli supports enable/disable an Addon. When installing KubeBlocks by kbcli, some Addons are installed but remain disabled by default, with their status shown as `Disabled`. For example,
+
+```bash
+kbcli addon list
+>
+NAME                           VERSION        PROVIDER    STATUS     AUTO-INSTALL

+victoria-metrics-agent         0.8.41         community   Disabled   false
+```
+
+You can enable them according to your needs.
+
+* Enable an Addon.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon enable qdrant
+   ```
+
+* Disable an Addon.
+
+   ```bash
+   kbcli addon disable qdrant
+   ```
+
+After enabling/disabling an Addon, check the Addon list to verify whether the Addon's status changes as required.
+
+```bash
+kbcli addon list
+>
+NAME                           VERSION        PROVIDER    STATUS     AUTO-INSTALL
+qdrant                         0.9.1          community   Enabled    false

-KubeBlocks is Kubernetes-native, you can use Helm or kubectl with a YAML file to install it.
+The quickest way to try out KubeBlocks is to create a new Kubernetes cluster and install KubeBlocks using the playground. However, production environments are more complex, with applications running in different namespaces and with resource or permission limitations. This document explains how to deploy KubeBlocks on an existing Kubernetes cluster.

+KubeBlocks is Kubernetes-native, you can use Helm or kubectl with a YAML file to install it. You can also use kbcli, an intuitive CLI tool, to install KubeBlocks.
 
 To try out KubeBlocks on your local host, you can use the [Playground](./../../try-out-on-playground/try-kubeblocks-on-your-laptop.md) or [create a local Kubernetes test cluster first](./../prerequisite/prepare-a-local-k8s-cluster.md) and then follow the steps in this tutorial to install KubeBlocks.

-If you install KubeBlocks with Helm, to uninstall it, you have to use Helm too.
+- Note that you install and uninstall KubeBlocks with the same tool. For example, if you install KubeBlocks with Helm, to uninstall it, you have to use Helm too.

+The command `kbcli kubeblocks install` installs KubeBlocks in the `kb-system` namespace, or you can use the `--namespace` flag to specify one.

+kbcli kubeblocks install

+If you want to install KubeBlocks with a specified version, follow the steps below.
+
+1. View the available versions.

+
+   To include alpha and beta releases, use:
+

+
+   By default, when installing KubeBlocks, kbcli installs the corresponding version of KubeBlocks. It's important to ensure the major versions of kbcli and KubeBlocks are the same, if you specify a different version explicitly here.
