You can install it using this command.

```auto
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server/releases/latest/download/components.yaml

```

Also you can use this Helm chart.

```auto
helm repo add metrics-server https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/metrics-server/

helm upgrade --install metrics-server metrics-server/metrics-server

```

Yes changing the port to 4443 works. I used with patch as documented here: [https://computingforgeeks.com/fix-error-metrics-api-not-available-in-kubernetes/](https://computingforgeeks.com/fix-error-metrics-api-not-available-in-kubernetes/)
