Create a new namespace for the JAGW (i.e. jagw).

kubectl create namespace <namespace>

helm install <release-name> jagw --namespace <namespace>

To upgrade JAGW to the newest stable version, pull the updates from the main branch, reconfigure your parameters in the file jagw/values.yaml and then run:
