Unable to install helm chart for knative 0.9.0 using helm 3.x

[m-daros]

Hello,

I'm trying to install knative 0.9.0 on a dev environment (Kubernetes on Docker desktop for Mac) I'm following the instructions I found here:
https://triggermesh.com/2019/04/knative-helm-chart/

I'm using helm 3.x

helm version
version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.0.2", GitCommit:"19e47ee3283ae98139d98460de796c1be1e3975f", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.13.5"}

I had to do a little update on the install command syntax due to the fact that the name is now mandatory in helm 3 and the --name flag isn't supported anymore:

helm install knative-0.9.0 tm/knative --debug

I also added the --debug flag in order to debug the output.

The output is:

install.go:149: [debug] Original chart version: ""
install.go:166: [debug] CHART PATH: /Users/mdaros/Library/Caches/helm/repository/knative-0.9.0.tgz

I did the same thing with success a few months ago using helm 2.x and an older chart version for knative (I think it was the 0.5.0 but I'm not sure of that)

Thanks

I came across similar issue. Does downgrading helm to v2 helps?
