Vulcan can be configured in few different ways with a set of environment variables. The default Vulcan environment variables are provided in env/vulcanconfig.yaml. You can edit those variables depending on your needs. Check Vulcan documentation for more details on Vulcan config.

In addition to setting the environment variables, you can also edit the values.yaml file to configure other settings like enabling ingress, autoscalling, database persistence, etc..

3. Make sure that your kubernetes local distribution is running and that kubectl can connect to the cluster.
4. Run the start_vulcan.sh script to install the helm chart.
