Follow these instructions to install Azure Container Storage on your AKS cluster using an installation script.

2. Download and save this shell script.

3. Navigate to the directory where the file is saved using the cd command. For example, cd C:\Users\Username\Downloads.

4. Run the following command to change the file permissions:

   chmod +x acstor-install.sh 

5. Run the installation script and specify the parameters.

   Flag	Parameter	Description
   -s	--subscription	The subscription identifier. Defaults to the current subscription.
   -g	--resource-group	The resource group name.
   -c	--cluster-name	The name of the cluster where Azure Container Storage is to be installed.
   -n	--nodepool-name	The name of the nodepool. Defaults to the first nodepool in the cluster.
