@damodhar22 Can you provide more context and details on the feature you are requesting/

@hickeyma helm install has an option --dependency-update, which can download all the dependencies
provided in Charts.yaml without explicitly running helm dep update command.

I am using the below command to both install and update helm charts
helm upgrade --install myrelease mychart
Here I had to run helm dep update command as the helm upgrade command do not have
--dependency-update option.

@hickeyma I've just run to the same thing, we use helmfile which internally uses helm upgrade which causes the error on dependencies when I do not have them installed locally. It took me some time to understand it. It would be great if upgrade can accept the option to just do it internally. WDYT?

@DocX It is an open feature if you would like to work on it.

PR #8810

Guys how do you updadate dependecies when chart is from remote repository? e.g. stable/xxx

@jaksky
When you try to package a chart to update to the remote and it has requirements that were not resolved it will complain

helm package .
Error: found in Chart.yaml, but missing in charts/ directory: mysql

helm package provides a flag to help with that

helm package --dependency-update .
Successfully packaged chart and saved it to: /home/janario/Projects/my-chart-0.0.1.tgz

so I suppose all the remote charts will always have its dependencies

@janario I am new to helm but wondering as I am installing/upgrading stuff via helm upgrade --install prometheus. stable/prometheus ...
Locally I see manifests rendered correctly but latter on getting an error.

Can helm package even remote charts? I am struggling with stable/prometheus with dependant kube-state-metrics which is dependency from that chart.

@jaksky not sure but I guess it goes a bit out of the scope of this issue

Try to ask some help at slack or some other community channel
