Helm installation methods¶

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies the deployment and management of applications.^[400-devops-04-ci-cd-pipelines-helm.md] Before installing Helm, it is a prerequisite to have Docker installed on the system.^[400-devops-04-ci-cd-pipelines-helm.md]

Installation via Chocolatey¶

On Windows systems, one common method for installing Helm is using the Chocolatey package manager (choco).^[400-devops-04-ci-cd-pipelines-helm.md] This allows for a streamlined installation process via the command line.

Configuration and Deployment¶

Once installed, Helm can be used to manage application deployments by retrieving and configuring charts. For example, users can download a specific chart, such as a MySQL chart, using the helm pull command^[400-devops-04-ci-cd-pipelines-helm.md].

The default configuration of a chart can be customized by overwriting values (e.g., values.yaml) to suit specific environment requirements^[400-devops-04-ci-cd-pipelines-helm.md].
