We’ll need Helm cli. Here is how to install the Helm CLI on different operating systems.

Using Homebrew, the package manager for Mac:

brew install helm

This will automatically download and install the latest Helm version.

For Windows, you can use the Chocolatey package manager to install Helm. If you don’t have Chocolatey, visit the Chocolatey installation page to set it up.

choco install kubernetes-helm

Linux Using Snap (for Ubuntu/Debian): If you’re using a Linux distribution that supports Snap, you can install Helm with:

sudo snap install helm --classic

Using Script: For other Linux distributions, you can use a script provided by Helm team:

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

This script will automatically grab the latest version of Helm and install it locally.

After the installation, you can confirm the Helm version with the following command:

helm version

This command should print out the version of your Helm. Now you are ready to start using Helm to manage your Kubernetes packages.
