## Running a Local Cluster ## Running a Local Cluster
You can run tests locally using the `scripts/local-cluster.sh` script to For development, we highly recommend using the
start Kubernetes inside of a Docker container. For OS X, you will need [Kubernetes Minikube](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube)
to be running `docker-machine`. developer-oriented distribution. Once this is installed, you can use
`helm init` to install into the cluster.
Tiller should run on any >= 1.2 Kubernetes cluster with beta extensions. For developing on Tiller, it is sometimes more expedient to run Tiller locally
instead of packaging it into an image and running it in-cluster. You can do
this by telling the Helm client to us a local instance.
```console
$ make build
$ bin/tiller
```
And to configure the Helm client, use the `--host` flag or export the `HELM_HOST`
environment variable:
```console
$ export HELM_HOST=localhost:44134
$ helm install foo
```
(Note that you do not need to use `helm init` when you are running Tiller directly)
Tiller should run on any >= 1.3 Kubernetes cluster.
