Installing operator documentation is incorrect

[jasonmccallister]

Expected Behavior

Following the instructions on installing the operator is confusing. On the Install knative operator page, the following statement is displayed:

Because the Operator is installed to the default namespace, ensure you set the current namespace to default by running the command

However, the namespace the operator is installed into is knative-operator and it is specific in the YAML files for the version provided in the URL.

Actual Behavior

I expect the operator is installed in the default namespace.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Following the instructions on installing the operator
2. Run the commands in the order presented in the documentation
3. No deployments are found in the default namespace

I would like to solve this issue.Please assign it on my name

kubectl create -f https://github.com/knative/operator/releases/download/knative-v1.5.1/operator-post-install.yaml
This is the yaml file to create operator. Should i make changes in the latest release or the older one?

I ended up with two operators running. 1 in the default namespace and 1 in the knative-operator namespace. I ended up deleteing the operator and webhook deployments in the default namespace however, this doesn't feel very clean. i am guessing i should go back and look at the yaml and delete the secrets, sa and maybe some other things that were created in the default namespace.

I note that this issue has not gotten any traction from the time of assignment.
If @pranjalg1331 is not available for this task, I'd be glad to take it up.

This is still an issue. I just ran into the same problem.

It's not a major blocker, but definitely needs cleaning up.
