Installing Helm on MiniShift requires a little extra effort
compared to Minikube.
Requirements
Kubectl:
Follow the instructions at Installing
and Setting up kubectl to install kubectl. kubectl is the general
purpose CLI client for inspecting and manipulating a kubernetes cluster.
Minishift:
Install Minishift
Helm:
Install Helm
Run Helm using Minishift
Start Minishift with a generous helping of resources if you run large
work loads. For me that means running 4 cpus, 8 GB of RAM and 100
GB Storage.
Give it cluster-admin priviliges, which should be okay in this case because we are on a local development cluster. On a production cluster, more restrictions is likely appropriate.
