Using helm client on google cloud

1/14/2018

Hello I want to use helm on google cloud console. Tiller is already installed.

I did the following steps:

 wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-v2.7.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Then:

tar zxfv helm-v2.7.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Now I can use helm within the folder helm is with:

./helm init --client-only

But I want just type helm to use it. What's needed to use it directly from cmd.

You need to add the directory where the helm binary is placed to your $PATH, as explained in this question. That way, next time you invoke helm it will try to look for a binary in the folders specified in the $PATH environment variable.

Or you can move the helm binary to one of the folders that are currently in your $PATH, like /usr/local/bin.
