+description: desktop Jenkins X Console based on Lens 
+weight: 50
+---
+
+[Lens](https://k8slens.dev/) is a desktop console for Kubernetes which runs locally on your laptop as a desktop application.
+
+
+
+## Install Lens
+
+[Download the Lens distribution](https://k8slens.dev/#download) for your computer then run it or follow the [getting started guide](https://docs.k8slens.dev/main/getting-started/)
+
+You can check out the [catalog documentation](https://docs.k8slens.dev/main/catalog/) for how to connect to a kubernetes cluster.
+
+## Install the Jenkins X extension
+
+[Lens](https://k8slens.dev/) supports [extensions](https://k8slens.dev/#extensions) to support custom UIs for different extensions to Kubernetes such as Jenkins X.
+
+Follow the Lens documentation on [installing an extension](https://docs.k8slens.dev/main/extensions/usage/#installing-an-extension) using the following URL for the [Jenkins X Lens extension](https://github.com/jenkins-x-plugins/jx-lens)
+
+
+* go to the **File** (or **Lens** on macOS) > **Extensions** in the application menu
+* enter the following URL into the **Install Extension** input field
+  * https://registry.npmjs.org/@jenkins-x-plugins/jx-lens/-/jx-lens-{{< jx-lens-version >}}.tgz
+* make sure the extension is **Enabled**
+
+
+## Using the Jenkins X extension
+
+Once you have used the usual Lens way to connect to your cluster you can browse the usual Kubernetes resources like `Nodes`, `Workloads` and `Configuration`.
+
+You should see the `Jenkins X` tab below the `Custom Resources` section. If you expand that you can then navigate to your `Pipelines` and `Preview` environments as well.

 To run the [Octant](https://octant.dev/) UI please make sure you are in a local terminal (not inside a VM) as it will run a local process and open a web browser to access a local port.
