.SH NAME
.PP
helm\-init \- initialize Helm on both client and server


.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBhelm init\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This command installs Tiller (the helm server side component) onto your
Kubernetes Cluster and sets up local configuration in $HELM\_HOME (default \~/.helm/)

.PP
As with the rest of the Helm commands, 'helm init' discovers Kubernetes clusters
by reading $KUBECONFIG (default '\~/.kube/config') and using the default context.

.PP
To set up just a local environment, use '\-\-client\-only'. That will configure
$HELM\_HOME, but not attempt to connect to a remote cluster and install the Tiller
deployment.

.PP
When installing Tiller, 'helm init' will attempt to install the latest released
version. You can specify an alternative image with '\-\-tiller\-image'. For those
frequently working on the latest code, the flag '\-\-canary\-image' will install
the latest pre\-release version of Tiller (e.g. the HEAD commit in the GitHub
repository on the master branch).

.PP
To dump a manifest containing the Tiller deployment YAML, combine the
'\-\-dry\-run' and '\-\-debug' flags.
