To install Helm version 3.7+ on your system, you can use the following steps. These steps will work on most Linux distributions, including Ubuntu.
Download the Helm Installation Script
You can use
curl
to download the Helm installation script. Since the script by default attempts to verify the checksum usingopenssl
, you may need to installopenssl
or disable the checksum verification.curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 > get_helm.sh
Make the Script Executable
chmod +x get_helm.sh
Run the Script
If you have
openssl
installed:./get_helm.sh
If you do not have
openssl
and wish to skip checksum verification:VERIFY_CHECKSUM=false ./get_helm.sh
Verify the Installation
Once the installation is complete, verify the installed version:
helm version
This should show the Helm version, confirming that Helm is installed.
Alternative Method: Installing Specific Version
If you need to install a specific version of Helm, you can download the binary directly from the Helm GitHub releases page.
Find the Desired Version
Go to the Helm releases page: https://github.com/helm/helm/releases
Identify the version you want to install, for example,
v3.7.2
.Download the Helm Binary
Replace
v3.7.2
with the desired version in the command below:wget https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.7.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Extract the Archive
tar -zxvf helm-v3.7.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Move the Helm Binary to
/usr/local/bin
sudo mv linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm
Verify the Installation
helm version
By following these steps, you will have Helm 3.7+ installed on your system, ready to manage your Kubernetes deployments.
