Installing Helm as a pre-requisite

Helm is a pre-requisite to provision applications to Kubernetes. It needs to be installed before the installation can begin.

Installing Helm

The recommended installation is to download the latest binary from the Helm homepage and put it into the user’s ~/bin directory.

The installation guide is available in the Helm installation guide.
