+Deploying the Infrastructure and Platform Groups
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Use the scripts below to install kubernetes, kubernetes-CNI, helm and docker on a fresh
+Ubuntu 20.04 installation. Note that since May 2022 there's no need for anything form the repo it/dep
+anymore.
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+ # install kubernetes, kubernetes-CNI, helm and docker
+ cd ric-dep/bin
+ ./install_k8s_and_helm.sh
+
+ # install chartmuseum into helm and add ric-common templates
+ ./install_common_templates_to_helm.sh
+
+After the recipes are edited and helm started, the Near Realtime RIC platform is ready to be deployed,
+but first update the deployment recipe as per instructions in the next section.
