Type of question How to install dependent operator using OLM way

Hi All, Sorry if this question is already asked, but I have checked google and github but did not get the required answer. My operator A is dependent on operator B and C. Before operator A gets install, I want to install operator B and C.

I have defined dependencies.yaml under bundle/metadata folder but what to do next? I am not getting the steps on google.

Thank you in advance.

What did you expect to see?

Whatever I have defined in the dependecies.yaml is getting reflected in operator CSV and when I try to install operator A, operator B and C should get installed.

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

No changes in CSV and installation
