In this post we going to install Helm the package manager for Kubernetes.
What is Helm ?
Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications — Helm Charts help you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes application.
Charts are easy to create, version, share, and publish — so start using Helm and stop the copy-and-paste.
Helm is a graduated project in the CNCF and is maintained by the Helm community.
Hands-On
- Choose the release you want to install from this page
In my case I'm going to install the Helm v3.3.4 for amd64.
Instead of download directly, do a right click and choose "Copy Link Location"

2. Open a terminal on the computer you want to installed and use wget
and copy the link.
wget https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.3.4-linux-amd64.tar.gz
3. Unpack the file with tar -zxvf
tar -zxvf helm-v3.3.4-linux-amd64.tar.gz
4. Move the file to a Path environment directory, to execute in any location.
sudo mv linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm
5. Test the installation.
helm version
version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.3.4", GitCommit:"a61ce5633af99708171414353ed49547cf05013d", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.14.9"}
Well done, you have helm installed.
Clean-Up
Once you want to uninstall Helm, you only need to delete the binary.
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/helm
