Installing Helm

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that helps you manage and deploy applications on a Kubernetes cluster. Installing Helm is straightforward and can be done in a few steps.

Here are the steps for installing Helm:

1. Download the latest version of Helm from the official website. You can download the appropriate version for your operating system from https://github.com/helm/helm/releases.

2. Extract the downloaded archive file to a location of your choice.

3. Add the Helm executable to your PATH environment variable to make it easier to run Helm commands.

4. Initialize Helm on your local machine by running the following command in your terminal:

csharp
Copy code
$ helm init
Copy

This command sets up the local configuration for Helm and installs Tiller, which is the server-side component of Helm, on your Kubernetes cluster.

1. Verify that Helm has been installed correctly by running the following command:

ruby
Copy code
$ helm version
Copy

This command should display the version of Helm and Tiller installed on your system.

That's it! You have successfully installed Helm on your system and are now ready to use it to manage your applications on a Kubernetes cluster.
