# Hostpath Csi

## Install Hostpath CSI Driver

To add a storage provider, go to the *Storage* > *Storage Providers* tab. Then, select a CSI from an installed repository. In this case, we use the hostpath-csi-driver. Next, click deploy on the hostpath-csi-driver.

This brings up a new page where we add the deployment info. A unique yaml file can be added here, or a default yaml based on the basic values needed to set up the CSI driver.
