That will configure 16 $HELM_HOME, but not attempt to connect to a Kubernetes cluster and install the Tiller 17 deployment. 18 19 When installing Tiller, 'helm init' will attempt to install the latest released 20 version. You can specify an alternative image with '--tiller-image'. For those 21 frequently working on the latest code, the flag '--canary-image' will install 22 the latest pre-release version of Tiller (e.g. the HEAD commit in the GitHub 23 repository on the master branch). 24 25 To dump a manifest containing the Tiller deployment YAML, combine the 26 '--dry-run' and '--debug' flags. 27 28 29 ``` 30 helm init 31 ``` 32 33 ### Options 34 35 ``` 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 --history-max int limit the maximum number of revisions saved per release. Use 0 for no limit. 40 --local-repo-url string URL for local repository (default "http://127.0.0.1:8879/charts") 41 --net-host install Tiller with net=host 42 --node-selectors string labels to specify the node on which Tiller is installed (app=tiller,helm=rocks) 43 -o, --output OutputFormat skip installation and output Tiller's manifest in specified format (json or yaml) 44 --override stringArray override values for the Tiller Deployment manifest (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=val1,key2=val2) 45 --service-account string name of service account 46 --skip-refresh do not refresh (download) the local repository cache 47 --stable-repo-url string URL for stable repository (default "https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com") 48 -i, --tiller-image string override Tiller image 49 --tiller-tls install Tiller with TLS enabled 50 --tiller-tls-cert string path to TLS certificate file to install with Tiller 51 --tiller-tls-key string path to TLS key file to install with Tiller 52 --tiller-tls-verify install Tiller with TLS enabled and to verify remote certificates 53 --tls-ca-cert string path to CA root certificate 54 --upgrade upgrade if Tiller is already installed 55 ``` 56 57 ### Options inherited from parent commands 58 59 ``` 60 --debug enable verbose output 61 --home string location of your Helm config.

Overrides $HELM_HOST 63 --kube-context string name of the kubeconfig context to use 64 --kubeconfig string path to kubeconfig file. Overrides $KUBECONFIG 65 --tiller-namespace string namespace of Tiller (default "kube-system") 66 ``` 67 68 ### SEE ALSO 69 * [helm](helm.md) - The Helm package manager for Kubernetes. 70 71 ###### Auto generated by spf13/cobra on 7-Nov-2017
