+# Running OpenTelemetry Collector from source on k8s
+
+Developing Collector's features that target to run on a Kubernetes environment require some special handling
+for building and running the patches locally.
+
+
+In order to build the Collector from source and deploy it on a local kind cluster
+(a kind cluster is required to be installed already) use the following Makefile targets:
+
+#### Build the Collector
+`make kind-build`
+
+#### Install the Collector as Daemonset
+`make kind-install-daemonset`
+
+This command will install the Collector using the [`daemonset-collector-dev.yaml`](./daemonset-collector-dev.yaml)
+configuration sample.
+This only stands as a sample configuration and users need to tune this according to their needs.
+
+#### Uninstall the Daemonset
+`make kind-uninstall-daemonset`
