helm install | Error: failed pre-install: job failed: BackoffLimitExceeded

1/7/2021

I'm trying to do "helm install" using this command:

helm install mst local-development/mst 

However, it runs for some time and gives this error "failed pre-install: job failed: BackoffLimitExceeded" as shown below:

I tried to modify the command by adding:

helm install mst local-development/mst --debug --timeout 10m

However, some error emerges. Any help is appreciated, please. Thanks,
