For chart developers, it is 12 often easier to manage a single dependency file ('requirements.yaml') 13 which declares all dependencies. 14 15 The dependency commands operate on that file, making it easy to synchronize 16 between the desired dependencies and the actual dependencies stored in the 17 'charts/' directory. 18 19 A 'requirements.yaml' file is a YAML file in which developers can declare chart 20 dependencies, along with the location of the chart and the desired version. 21 For example, this requirements file declares two dependencies: 22 23 # requirements.yaml 24 dependencies: 25 - name: nginx 26 version: "1.2.3" 27 repository: "https://example.com/charts" 28 - name: memcached 29 version: "3.2.1" 30 repository: "https://another.example.com/charts" 31 32 The 'name' should be the name of a chart, where that name must match the name 33 in that chart's 'Chart.yaml' file. 34 35 The 'version' field should contain a semantic version or version range. 36 37 The 'repository' URL should point to a Chart Repository. Helm expects that by 38 appending '/index.yaml' to the URL, it should be able to retrieve the chart 39 repository's index. Note: 'repository' can be an alias. The alias must start 40 with 'alias:' or '@'. 41 42 Starting from 2.2.0, repository can be defined as the path to the directory of 43 the dependency charts stored locally. The path should start with a prefix of 44 "file://". For example, 45 46 # requirements.yaml 47 dependencies: 48 - name: nginx 49 version: "1.2.3" 50 repository: "file://../dependency_chart/nginx" 51 52 If the dependency chart is retrieved locally, it is not required to have the 53 repository added to helm by "helm add repo". Version matching is also supported 54 for this case. 55 56 57 ### Options inherited from parent commands 58 59 ``` 60 --debug enable verbose output 61 --home string location of your Helm config.
