# To Run```bash# Navigate to the download location of the galley tar file obtained from the # Iron Bank (example tarball name of mixer.tar.gz) and run the following:podman load -i mixer.tar.gzpodman run -t mixer .```The Docker command and entrypoint for Mixer should be sufficient for running the container, assuming that Istio has already been installed in the cluster. For configuration options and mixs commands, please refer to the following documentation from the Istio website:https://istio.io/docs/reference/commands/mixs/This container has been included to provide an option for those who depend on Mixer-specific features and have not fully transitioned to Istio 1.5.## Regarding the use of Mixer in Istio 1.5+ (from the Istio documentation):Mixer, the process behind the istio-telemetry and istio-policy deployments, has been deprecated with the 1.5 release. istio-policy was disabled by default since Istio 1.3 and istio-telemetry is disabled by default in Istio 1.5.Telemetry is collected using an in-proxy extension mechanism (Telemetry V2) that does not require Mixer.If you depend on specific Mixer features like out of process adapters, you may re-enable Mixer. Mixer will continue receiving bug fixes and security fixes until Istio 1.7.
