+## The is-installed.sh script
+
+The `installation/scripts/is-installed.sh` script shows the status of Kyma installation in real time. The script checks the status of the Installation custom resource. When it detects that the status changed to `Installed`, the script exits. If you define a timeout period and the status doesn't change to `Installed` within that period, the script fetches the installer logs. If you don't set a timeout period, the script waits for the change of the status until you terminate it.
