+If you want to use the latest image, you can build virtletctl yourself from the source:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/Mirantis/virtlet.git
+cd virtlet
+build/cmd.sh build && build/cmd.sh copy
+# Replace _ou_output/virtletctl with _output/virtletctl.darwin for Mac OS X below
+cp _output/virtletctl /usr/local/bin

+Another way is to use the latest released virtletctl with `--tag latest`, see below.
 1. Deploy Virtlet DaemonSet and related objects:
 ```
 ./virtletctl gen | kubectl apply -f -
 ```
+If you want to override the image tag to use:
+```
+./virtletctl gen --tag latest | kubectl apply -f -
+```
+Note thought that it'll only work if the generated yaml didn't change between
+virtletctl version and the image tag you specified, so your mileage may vary.
 1. Wait for Virtlet pod to activate:
 ```
 kubectl get pods -w -n kube-system

 By default it has KVM enabled, but you can configure Virtlet to
 disable it.  In order to do so, create a configmap named
 `virtlet-config` in `kube-system` prior to creating Virtlet DaemonSet
