Helm Basic

Installation

Script

Pros

• The script will be in /usr/local/bin, same location as kubectl, can be run by normal user

Cons

• No auto update

curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/main/scripts/get-helm-3
chmod 700 get_helm.sh
./get_helm.sh

Package Manager

Pros

• The script will be in /usr/sbin, it is difficult to be run by normal user if path is not defined $PATH.

Cons

• With auto update using apt

curl https://baltocdn.com/helm/signing.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https --yes
echo "deb https://baltocdn.com/helm/stable/debian/ all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/helm-stable-debian.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install helm

Snap

Pros

• No change on system configuration, such as package repo, etc.
• Easy to remove as well

sudo snap install helm --classic
