  • Need a functional Kubernetes cluster and kubectl installed and available on your local machine.

  • Helm can be installed on Linux, MacOS and Windows.

  • Systems with snap can install Helm with:
    sudo snap install helm
    
  • Use the --classic option to provide a more relaxed sandbox and provide more access to the host system.

    • With using the --classic option, it allows Helm to access the kube config in the home directory.
