Installation

To install Helm in Ubuntu, we can use the following code:

# Download the Helm package
curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/main/scripts/get-helm-3

# Make the install script executable
chmod 700 get_helm.sh

# Run the script
./get_helm.sh

helm version

Pull Helm charts to local storage

I usually store helm charts locally to control upstream source updates.

From Helm Hub

To download and then unpack the latest version of a chart from the official Helm Hub repository, use the following code:

# Pull the helm chart from helm hub and untar it
helm pull --untar <app name E.G nginx-ingress>

From specific repository

To download and then unpack the latest version of a chart from a specific repository, use the following code:

# Pull the helm chart from an example repo and untar it
helm pull --repo https://example.com/charts nginx-ingress --untar
