That will configure 15 $HELM_HOME, but not attempt to connect to a Kubernetes cluster and install the Tiller 16 deployment. 17 18 When installing Tiller, 'helm init' will attempt to install the latest released 19 version. You can specify an alternative image with '--tiller-image'. For those 20 frequently working on the latest code, the flag '--canary-image' will install 21 the latest pre-release version of Tiller (e.g. the HEAD commit in the GitHub 22 repository on the master branch). 23 24 To dump a manifest containing the Tiller deployment YAML, combine the 25 '--dry-run' and '--debug' flags. 26 27 28 ``` 29 helm init [flags] 30 ``` 31 32 ### Options 33 34 ``` 35 --automount-service-account-token auto-mount the given service account to tiller (default true) 36 --canary-image use the canary Tiller image 37 -c, --client-only if set does not install Tiller 38 --dry-run do not install local or remote 39 --force-upgrade force upgrade of Tiller to the current helm version 40 -h, --help help for init 41 --history-max int limit the maximum number of revisions saved per release.
