+The required label replacements are bundled in [jsonnet/custom-prometheus](../jsonnet/custom-prometheus.jsonnet). To install it copy the file or use
+[Jsonnet Bundler](https://github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler). For jsonnet bundler add the following dependency to your `jsonnetfile.json`:
+
+```
+{
+  "name": "lens",
+  "source": {
+    "git": {
+      "remote": "https://github.com/lensapp/lens",
+      "subdir": "jsonnet"
+    }
+  },
+  "version": "master"
+}
+```
+
+and run `jb install`. When the installation was successful include it into your definitions. Using the [example](https://github.com/coreos/kube-prometheus#compiling)
+of kube-prometheus, e.g.:
+
+```
+local kp =
+  (import 'kube-prometheus/kube-prometheus.libsonnet') +
