 ### Install with kubectl
 
+**For a remote cluster** (image must be pushed to a registry accessible by the cluster):
+
 ```bash
-# Install the latest release
-kubectl apply -f https://github.com/elenpay/dapr-trustbundle/releases/latest/download/install.yaml
+# Build and push the operator image to your registry
+make docker-build docker-push IMG=<registry/image:tag>
+
+# Deploy using Helm, overriding the image to use your registry
+helm upgrade --install dapr-trustbundle deploy/helm/dapr-trustbundle \
+  --set image.repository=<registry/image> \
+  --set image.tag=<tag>
 
-# Or use the installation script
-curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elenpay/dapr-trustbundle/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+# Alternatively, download the release manifest, update the image field,
+# and apply it to your cluster:
+kubectl apply -f <path-to-updated-release-manifest>.yaml
+```
+
+> Note: The `make build-installer` flow is intended for local KIND-style development.
+> It applies the `config/default/manager_image_pull_policy_patch.yaml` patch, which
+> sets `imagePullPolicy: Never` and prevents a remote cluster from pulling the image
+> from your registry.
+
+**For a local Kind cluster** (no registry needed):
+
+```bash
+# Build and load the image into the Kind cluster
+make kind-load IMG=<your-operator-image>
+
+# Deploy the operator
+make deploy IMG=<your-operator-image>
 ```
