## helm init

initialize Helm on both client and server

### Synopsis



This command installs Tiller (the Helm server-side component) onto your
Kubernetes Cluster and sets up local configuration in $HELM_HOME (default ~/.helm/).

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

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

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).

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


```
helm init
