How to install Helm Umbrella Charts pulled from remote repository


I have an umbrella chart uploaded in a remote repository and am trying to install it. How do I get it pulled down and ready to install?

I've tried helm fetch repo/umbrellachartname --untar which untared it but with nothing in any of the folders.

This seems incorrect and I simply want to install it and all its dependencies.


Solution

  • To install a helm chart, use helm install <repo name>/<chart name>, i.e.

    helm install repo/umbrellachartname 
    

    in your case.

    You can also first fetch it and then run helm install . in the untarred directory.

    If the directories are empty as you describe, I would think the uploaded chart is broken.
