# Utilities
# Kata Manager
> **Warning:**
>
> - Kata Manager will not work for Fedora 31 and higher since those
> distribution versions only support cgroups version 2 by default. However,
> Kata Containers currently requires cgroups version 1 (on the host side). See
> https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/issues/927 for further
> details.
> **Note:**
>
> We recommend users install Kata Containers using
> [official distribution packages](../docs/install/README.md#official-packages), where available.
The [`kata-manager.sh`](kata-manager.sh) script automatically installs and
configures Kata Containers and containerd.
This scripted method installs the latest versions of Kata Containers and
containerd. However, be aware of the following before proceeding:
- Packages will **not** be automatically updated
Since a package manager is not being used, it is **your** responsibility
to ensure these packages are kept up-to-date when new versions are released
to ensure you are using a version that includes the latest security and bug fixes.
- Potentially untested versions or version combinations
This script installs the *newest* versions of Kata Containers
and containerd from binary release packages. These versions may
not have been tested with your distribution version.
If you still wish to continue, but prefer a manual installation, see
[the containerd installation guide](/docs/install/container-manager/containerd/containerd-install.md).
## Install a minimal Kata Containers system
By default, the script will attempt to install Kata Containers and
containerd, and then configure containerd to use Kata Containers. However,
the script provides a number of options to allow you to change its
behaviour.
> **Note:**
>
> Before running the script to install Kata Containers, we recommend
> that you [review the available options](#show-available-options).
### Show available options
To show the available options without installing anything, run:
```sh
$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/main/utils/kata-manager.sh) -h"
```
### To install Kata Containers only
If your system already has containerd installed, to install Kata Containers and only configure containerd, run:
```sh
$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/main/utils/kata-manager.sh) -o"
```
### To install Kata Containers and containerd
To install and configure a system with Kata Containers and containerd, run:
```bash
$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/main/utils/kata-manager.sh)"
```
