Install Tanzu Supply Chain with the Authoring profile

This topic tells you about the recommended method for installing Tanzu Supply Chain, which is by using the Authoring profile (beta). The Authoring profile installs all the required packages.

Caution
Tanzu Supply Chain is currently in beta and is not intended for production use. It is intended only for evaluation purposes for the next generation Supply Chain. For the current Supply Chain solution, see the Supply Chain Choreographer documentation.

The Authoring profile has the following additional packages that the Iterate profile does not have:

As the Authoring profile adds additional packages in addition to what is already installed with the Iterate profile, the tap-values.yaml file for both profiles can look the same except for the profile value.
