## Prerequisites
1. Set `KUBECONFIG` environment variable to your Kubernetes configuration. If this is not set, Mizu assumes that configuration is at `${HOME}/.kube/config`
## Kubeconfig & Permissions
While `mizu`most often works out of the box, you can influence its behavior:
1. [OPTIONAL] Set `KUBECONFIG` environment variable to your Kubernetes configuration. If this is not set, Mizu assumes that configuration is at `${HOME}/.kube/config`
2. `mizu` assumes user running the command has permissions to create resources (such as pods, services, namespaces) on your Kubernetes cluster (no worries - `mizu` resources are cleaned up upon termination)
