Step 5: Create a YAML file for TMC Agent Installation

apiVersion: installers.tmc.cloud.vmware.com/v1alpha1
kind: AgentInstall
metadata:
  name: tmc-agent-installer-config
  **namespace: svc-tmc-c61**
spec:
  operation: INSTALL
  **registrationLink: <https://vmcpsa.tmc.cloud.vmware.com/installer?id=db68cf022a8e852xxxxxf1c42dad994269dcec4679fe19fe5be19ec2130c920&source=registration&type=tkgs**>

Step 6: Install TMC Agent

root@photon-machine [ ~ ]# k create -f register-to-tmc.yaml 
agentinstall.installers.tmc.cloud.vmware.com/tmc-agent-installer-config created

Step 7: Verify the installation

root@photon-machine [ ~ ]# kubectl -n svc-tmc-c61 describe agentinstall tmc-agent-installer-config
