+# Deploying Strimzi on OpenShift
+
+This addon provides an easy way to install an Apache Kafka cluster, using [Strimzi](http://strimzi.io/) on [Minishift](https://github.com/minishift/minishift).
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+ * [Installed and running](https://docs.okd.io/latest/minishift/getting-started/installing.html) Minishift
+ * [Installed](https://docs.okd.io/latest/minishift/command-ref/minishift_oc-env.html) OpenShift CLI
+
+## Start Minishift
+The deployment works with Minishift default resources - 2 CPUs and 2 GB RAM. Nevertheless we prefer to allocate more memory (4 GB) available to Strimzi and associated infrastructure. Start Minishift using following command to provide more RAM.
+```
+$ minishift start --memory=4GB
+```
+
+## Add-on installation
+Clone this repository onto your local machine and then install the add-on via:
+```
+    $ minishift addons install <path_to_directory_containing_this_readme>
+```
+
+## Strimzi start
+Deploy the Apache Kafka cluster:
+
+```
+minishift addon apply -a STRIMZI_VERSION=0.7.0 -a PROJECT=myproject
+```
+
+After a while all parts should be up and running, you can monitor the progress:
+
+```
+oc get pods -w
+```
+
+## Supported parameters
+* `STRIMZI_VERSION` - the verson of Strimzi to be used (only released versions are supported)
+* `PROJECT` - the name of the project to which Strimzi is deployed
+
+## Strimzi Documentation
+To learn more about Strimzi, read the [Strimzi documentation](http://strimzi.io/).
