helm-install: Install a helm chart from an unpacked chart directory.
$ helm install ${name} ${path-to-source_directory}
try on your machine

The command "helm install ${name} ${path-to-source_directory}" is used to deploy a Helm chart onto a Kubernetes cluster.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "helm install" is the Helm command used to install a chart onto a Kubernetes cluster.
  • "${name}" is a placeholder for the name you choose to give to the deployment. It can be any name you want to assign to the Helm release.
  • "${path-to-source_directory}" is the path to the directory that contains the source files of the Helm chart you want to install. This directory should include the necessary YAML files and other resources required for the deployment.

By running this command, Helm will package, configure, and deploy the desired Helm chart onto the Kubernetes cluster specified in your local environment. The deployed resources will include services, pods, deployments, and any other Kubernetes objects defined in the chart.

Note: Make sure to replace "${name}" and "${path-to-source_directory}" with actual values specific to your deployment before executing the command.
