This article walks you through the process of installing Hybrid GitOps Runtimes in your Codefresh accounts using Helm charts. You can install a single GitOps Runtime on a cluster. To install additional Runtimes in the same account, each account must be on a different cluster. Every Runtime within your account must have a unique name.
For Hosted GitOps Runtimes, see [Hosted GitOps Runtime Setup]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/installation/gitops/hosted-runtime/).

If you have already installed a GitOps Runtime in your account and want to install additional Runtimes on different clusters within the same account, you can continue with a [simplified installation](#install-additional-gitops-runtimes-in-account) from the Codefresh UI, or use [Terraform](/install-gitops-runtime-via-terraform).
When installing additional GitOps Runtimes, Git provider, Shared Configuration Repository, and the repository for the Helm chart, for example, are not required, as they have been already set up for your account.
