Install Helm on Kubernetes
This is a quick example of how to install Helm on Kubernetes. Helm is a management tool used to install Kubernetes container configurations.
Download
Helm can be installed with a script from the repo.
To install Helm run the scripts/get_helm.sh script from the repo.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/helm/master/scripts/get | bash
Initialize Helm
To add Helm controls to your Kubernetes cluster, begin with the helm init command.
helm init
Create a ServiceAccount
If you've used kubeadm to setup the cluster, then you'll need to add a service account for tiller as well.
kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller kubectl patch deploy --namespace kube-system tiller-deploy --patch '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"serviceAccount": "tiller"} } } }'
That's All
Happy Helming!
