```console
helm install istio-cni istio/cni -n kube-system
```

Installation in `kube-system` is recommended to ensure the [`system-node-critical`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/guaranteed-scheduling-critical-addon-pods/)
`priorityClassName` can be used. You can install in other namespace only on K8S clusters that allow
'system-node-critical' outside of kube-system.
