When I try to install a chart with helm:
helm install stable/nginx-ingress --name my-nginxI get the error:
Error: unknown flag: --name
But I see the above command format in many documentations.
Version:
version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.0.0-beta.3", GitCommit:"5cb923eecbe80d1ad76399aee234717c11931d9a", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.12.9"}
Platform: Windows 10 64
What could be the reason?
In Helm v3, the release name is now mandatory as part of the commmand, see helm install --help:
Usage:
helm install [NAME] [CHART] [flags]
Your command should be:
helm install my-nginx stable/nginx-ingress
Furthermore, Helm will not auto-generate names for releases anymore. If you want the "old behavior", you can use the --generate-name flag. e.g:
helm install --generate-name stable/nginx-ingress
The v3 docs are available at https://v3.helm.sh/docs/, but as it is a beta version, the docs will not be accurate for a while. It's better to rely on the CLI --help, that is auto-generated by Go/Cobra.
The --name flag is no more in version 3.
It should be
helm install my-nginx stable/nginx-ingressSyntax:
help install [name] [chart]
