Setting up Helm¶
Helm, the package manager for Kubernetes, is a useful tool to install, upgrade and manage applications on a Kubernetes cluster. We will be using Helm to install and manage JupyterHub on our cluster.
Installation¶
The simplest way to install helm is to run Helm’s installer script at a terminal:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/helm/master/scripts/get | bash
Alternative methods for helm installation exist if you prefer to install without using the script.
Initialization¶
After installing helm on your machine, initialize helm on your Kubernetes cluster. At the terminal, enter:
helm init
This command only needs to run once per Kubernetes cluster.
Next Step¶
Congratulations. Helm is now set up. The next step is to install JupyterHub!
