Helm CLI

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes. Helm enables you to deploy various Kubernetes applications on your Kubernetes cluster as helm charts.

In order to use Helm to install applications as helm charts, you need to first install the Helm application binary on a machine that has access to the Kubernetes cluster. It may be installed either via a script, as shown below, or, via your operating system specific package manager such as yum , apt , brew. Refer to the documentation here to find out more about package manager specific instructions to deploy helm.

$ ./get_helm.sh
