     7  Helm is a tool for managing Kubernetes charts. Charts are packages of
     8  pre-configured Kubernetes resources.
     9  
    10  Use Helm to:
    11  
    12  - Find and use [popular software packaged as Kubernetes charts](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts)
    13  - Share your own applications as Kubernetes charts
    14  - Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
    15  - Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
    16  - Manage releases of Helm packages
    17  
    18  ## Helm in a Handbasket
    19  
    20  Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes applications.
    21  Think of it like apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes.
    22  
    23  - Helm has two parts: a client (`helm`) and a server (`tiller`)
    24  - Tiller runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster, and manages releases (installations)
    25    of your charts.
    26  - Helm runs on your laptop, CI/CD, or wherever you want it to run.
    27  - Charts are Helm packages that contain at least two things:
    28    - A description of the package (`Chart.yaml`)
    29    - One or more templates, which contain Kubernetes manifest files
    30  - Charts can be stored on disk, or fetched from remote chart repositories
    31    (like Debian or RedHat packages)
    32  
    33  ## Install
    34  
    35  Binary downloads of the Helm client can be found at the following links:
    36  
    37  - [OSX](https://kubernetes-helm.storage.googleapis.com/helm-v2.8.2-darwin-amd64.tar.gz)
    38  - [Linux](https://kubernetes-helm.storage.googleapis.com/helm-v2.8.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz)
    39  - [Linux 32-bit](https://kubernetes-helm.storage.googleapis.com/helm-v2.8.2-linux-386.tar.gz)

    41  
    42  Unpack the `helm` binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go!
    43  macOS/[homebrew](https://brew.sh/) users can also use `brew install kubernetes-helm`.
    44
