Installing Helm for ingress controller installations

Before we start using an ingress controller, we need to install Helm. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes, which you can use to install software. Helm uses Helm Charts, which contain the definitions to install and configure your deployments.

To install Helm, follow the given steps:

1. Download Helm with the next command:

   $ curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/main/scripts/get-helm-3

2. Change permissions and launch the installer by executing the following lines:

   $ chmod 700 get_helm.sh
   $ ./get_helm.sh

Now you have Helm installed, let’s move on to install the NGINX ingress controller in the next section.
