In some instances, `VERSION` is prepended with a lowercase _v_. This indicates that you must include the `v` as is part of the version, for example `v0.3.0`.
+1. Set the version of Consul API Gateway you are installing as an environment variable. The following steps use this environment variable to template the version into commands and configuration.

+   ```shell-session
+   $ export VERSION=0.3.0
+   ```
 
 1. Issue the following command to install the CRDs:
 
    ```shell-session
-   $ kubectl apply --kustomize="github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/config/crd?ref=vVERSION"
+   $ kubectl apply --kustomize="github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/config/crd?ref=v$VERSION"
    ```
