This command installs a chart archive.
The install argument must be a chart reference, a path to a packaged chart, a path to an unpacked chart directory or a URL.
To override values in a chart, use either the --values flag and pass in a file or use the --set flag and pass configuration from the command line, to force a string value use --set-string. You can use --set-file to set individual values from a file when the value itself is too long for the command line or is dynamically generated.
$ helm install -f myvalues.yaml myredis ./redis
or
$ helm install --set name=prod myredis ./redis
or
$ helm install --set-string long_int=1234567890 myredis ./redis
or
$ helm install --set-file my_script=[dothings.sh](dothings.sh) myredis ./redis
You can specify the --values/-f flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) file specified. For example, if both myvalues.yaml and override.yaml contained a key called Test, the value set in override.yaml would take precedence:
$ helm install -f myvalues.yaml -f override.yaml myredis ./redis
You can specify the --set flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) set specified. For example, if both bar and newbar values are set for a key called foo, the newbar value would take precedence:
$ helm install --set foo=bar --set foo=newbar myredis ./redis
To check the generated manifests of a release without installing the chart, the --debug and --dry-run flags can be combined.
If --verify is set, the chart must have a provenance file, and the provenance file must pass all verification steps.
There are five different ways you can express the chart you want to install:
- By chart reference:
helm install mymaria example/mariadb. - By path to a packaged chart:
helm install mynginx ./nginx-1.2.3.tgz. - By path to an unpacked chart directory:
helm install mynginx ./nginx. - By absolute URL:
helm install mynginx https://example.com/charts/nginx-1.2.3.tgz. - By chart reference and repo URL:
helm install --repo https://example.com/charts/ mynginx nginx.
Chart references
A chart reference is a convenient way of referencing a chart in a chart repository.
When you use a chart reference with a repo prefix (example/mariadb), Helm will look in the local configuration for a chart repository named ‘example’, and will then look for achart in that repository whose name is mariadb. It will install the latest stable version of that chart until you specify --devel flag to also include development version (alpha, beta, and release candidate releases), or supply a version number with the --version flag.
To see the list of chart repositories, use helm repo list. To search for charts in a repository, use helm search.
